Longhorn PHP Conference 2023
2 - 4 Nov 2023 at Holiday Inn Austin Midtown

Very engaging keynote, great way to kick off the conference!

Great ideas introduced, and all good advice. Loved the subtle humor. Would like to see a few more concrete examples or stories.

Great perspective advice!

Love the details and idea suggests given. This really helped me figure out how to communicate with my team why a lot of these tools are helpful. As well ideas on how to incrementally start using them.

Good concepts.

Would love to have heard more stories and details.

Also, reading code is kinda abstract. Agree it is critical. Would love to have you walked through some complex code and read it.

This is full of great advice, perspective, tool recommendations (and practical use) for those maintaining and actively continuing the development of a legacy project. Or, in different terms, code that has made money in the past, continues to make money, and should make more money in the future.

Seriously, if you work on anything that's not totally greenfield - you should attend this talk.

Great talk. Would be cool to see how one could refactor an existing app to locality of behavior. Of course, that may take too much time, but it would be helpful.

I appreciated the flipped perspective on appreciating and learning to work with a legacy code base, rather than pining for a more modern one. The slides were a little bit slim in places, I'd recommend including a bit more detail and maybe some style. I think it might be helpful to hear a couple more practical tools/techniques with examples for understanding a legacy code base's architecture or functionality - the focus seemed to be more on team dynamics, policies, etc.

Awesome keynote. I loved the format of the slides.

Great talk, thanks! It’ll give me something to think about.
