@Alex, Thank you for the feedback and note about the access issue. I updated the slides and everyone should be able to view now!

Like the other comment mentioning "I would have liked to see the last third of the slide deck as its own presentation!", I appreciated the history, but really wanted to hear more about the last third.

Great delivery and most impressive live demo I've seen.

Interesting format and conversation. The noise level was a bummer.

I already knew a decent amount about Grunt and what you can do with it, but I enjoyed learning about some Drupal-related Grunt tasks you can utilize that are out there all ready for you.

Since I'm not into dev ops and would rather just be told what to use by smart people who are, I gathered that using Grunt in 2015 is still fine but that if you are doing a lot of Grunt tasks, Gulp might speed you up some if you are finding Grunt slow. Kind of like with VHS and Betamax, it's not the always the technology but what people tend to use for whatever reason that sticks.

The biggest take away for me was actually the talk surrounding using static site generators in the design process, like Sculpin and Pattern Lab. Great resources embedded in the talk!

I agree with other commenters that this room sucked. I would not use it next year.

Very good. Clever and funny use of visuals, lots of concrete info.
