Very easy to understand. Using Pokemon as a way of explaining OOP was genius. Great job on your first conference speaking event, you did great.

Awesome! The content was great, the humor made is very enjoyable. And your slide "clicker" was absolutely fantastic. :)

Definitely not what I was expecting, and in a good way. A very humorous, entertaining, and thought-provoking wander through the presenter's experiences playing around with with IoT, and his worries and musings about how he might continue to fit into the rapidly changing technology landscape.

Great examples, good overview of what Blackfire can do (and how easy it is to use). Both presenters were knowledgeable in the problem space, and explained all the examples thoroughly. Plus a free book on Blackfire to boot!

I liked the ideas in this presentation, and I want to see more work around standardization in front end architectures. We seem to be on the cusp of a FE revolution in terms of not having every single person and project reinvent the wheel, and Luke's presentation described how a theme's style guide can be though of as yet another dependency for a site (rather than something you stick into a site's codebase and hack on). This allows the markup and components to be managed independently and more structured-ly.

Very fun session—the gist of it is that playing around with things like IoT devices can be an entertaining diversion *and* lead to interesting insights in your day-to-day work. Kind of a 'brain stretching' exercise. Fun examples to illustrate the presentation too.

Good exploration of the problem space, but I feel the 'how to solve it' problem needed more work; I was hoping to see more on that topic, but the presentation did give some food for thought.

Good overview of challenges with the traditional resource allocation model (e.g. 'ad agency resourcing'), but some of the discussion around the proposed method of partial allocation glossed over the main difficulties (e.g. flow state for developers). Sparked some good discussion, though!

Pacing could be a little better, but the content was excellent and is incredibly relevant to the community right now. It would have been nice to have a few minutes for question and discussion at the end

Good stuff that all of us i the agency / consulting space could use to improve on and be more self aware about. A courageous presentation.
