Talk comments

Fun talk for a keynote, outlining his own journey and lessons learned. Though I don't necessarily agree with everything he said, he was compelling without picking fights.

Inspiring and relatable, thank you!

Great talk! It's like a bonus keynote!

This talk wasn't so much a "here are useful strategies" as a "here is exactly what my team did." It didn't give enough general information to really be useful for any team but hers.

Good options given when moving to the new version of PHP

Emily's talk outlined a real-world example of how to utilize the concepts that she described. Great talk!

I was pretty excited that this topic was presented. All of my experience in Ubuntu, so it was nice to see another flavor. There was only so much time allotted, but the LAMP set up (particularly the section about setting up the repository) went at a quick pace.

Amazing talk. By sharing his story Rodney touched on many important skills that developers should cultivate when looking for work or assessing where we currently are working. Many of his stories also highlighted the importance of the human element in programming and working with a team. I would recommend this talk to any developer.

Awesome story of Rodney's roller coaster ride of a career. It's inspiring to see how each setback is usually followed by a new level of success if you can learn from the experience.

An exceptional talk. Brave choice in not using slides, but totally the right decision! Inspiring, informative and interesting.
