Wasn't practical enough

Very engaging talk. He demystified some of the intimidating portions of a git workflow.

Appreciate your command of the topic and the audience.
The "disable css to visit page" example is great and impactful.

As someone who recently moved to a team focused on developer productivity, Taylor's talk was timely and helpful. Framing these problems as vendor engineering is a helpful way to think about it and the abstraction tips leave enough wiggle room / agility to change your mind later on another vendor or building a solution in house.

Also a super engaging deck design!

Another great talk from Dana. Learned about all the amazing ways exakat can help poke and prod your codebase to show you what's going on with quality, style issues, compatibility issues, security (OWASP), etc. And there are many more report types too. I like how much time was dedicated to getting a sane and simple docker setup going. It was clear and immediately helpful

Very interesting perspectives on framing discussions for Build vs Buy decisions, assessing vendors and managing relationships with them while anticipating and mitigating integration risks.

Also loved the insights on abstraction layers.

Not new concepts for me but excellent presentation skills

Concepts were spot on. I wanted to hear more detail about opentelemetry and see some code, but we moved really fast through that part.

Detailed and “insider” content from Sarah as usual.
