This talk was great and made me understand the whole packaging thing.
As someone currently working on a 20+ year old project, there was so much “yes, this!” catharsis in the talk. It’s kind of an anthology of smaller talks, tied together by the thread of “legacy/existing code might never be what we want it to be, but here are things we can do to make it better.”
Also, there’s a reason that James has a reputation for elePHPant comedy, which he’s refined into high art.
I saw the first version of this talk at php[tek] last spring and it still holds up.
It felt like the speaker origin story (literally the slide from Tim’s first talk) may have gone a bit long, but it’s also important context and Tim delivers it with such a commanding-yet-endearing presence.
I loved your energy and passion for documentation. I left your talk wanting a taco and the lunch satisfied that for sure.
Great talk. I appreciated the two slides about organizing by technical concerns versus use cases.
I enjoyed your presentation and will be looking for ways to be a steward in the future. Great slides!
The prerequisites were clearly defined making the GitHub repository useful to see how the tools can be called by make.
The tutorial was very informative, but she copied and pasted code blocks from a location we didn't have access to, so it was tough to keep up.
Really liked walking through the test process, the failures of the test case, assumptions that were made and how they needed to evolve. Defiantly has inspired me to see where I can contribute to the development language I love and some days love to hate 🥸
The challenge was fun and made me rethink some of our security related test procedures.
