Thanks for the talk. I liked the information, and it was super helpful. My only suggestion is to "show" more, because I got a little confused by some of the examples where a picture might have helped. The tabbing and zoom examples were great because I could see them but others were a little more challenging.

Great talk, fast and too the point, appreciated the "real world" examples.

I really appreciate how Chris framed the talk with his fictional record store (e.g. "we have X problem, and here's how nginx can help us"). The talk covered a lot of nginx's core functionality and helped fill in some gaps in my knowledge. Thanks, Chris!

Great talk Daniel! Entertaining, informative, and a great technical talk. Thanks for having the slides available ahead of time.

Very thorough & well-metered overview that every developer regardless of language should see.

Very informative and a practical set of quick checks we can go through

Nice examples. The pace was good. There was a lot of good information. I like that it didn't try to cover too much, therefore it could go into details that I don't see often in other talks on the topic.

Damian had a well-prepared playbook and pivoted to the needs of the audience ably while still driving the topic forward. I learned what I was looking for, and got some great new tools that will be deeply relevant to upcoming work.

I loved the vibe of this talk and agree with it all! I love the idea of "Community Is a Learning Engine" as it's true and can be super beneficial.

Thanks for the talk! It gave me a lot to think about, and I will definitely be pulling an old laptop out to set up something to try this.
