Midwest PHP 2019
8 - 9 Mar 2019 at Radisson Blu

I wasn’t expecting this talk to be focused on mobile conversions or revenue or a/b testing. It was also very short. I feel like this talk was a bad fit for a php developer conference.

I felt a bit yelled at after this talk. I think the point and intention of this talk is good, but it came off very negative for me. I could have use the history lesson and the arguments delivered in a way that was positive and educational without feeling like I was being blamed.

lgtm, ship it

In all seriousness, the detailed, actionable information that you packed this talk with validated my experiences on one hand and called to mind a few things that I hadn't properly considered before when doing, or receiving, code reviews. Nicely done.

I appreciated the coverage of potential best practices and pitfalls in the realm of code reviews, especially among a tight knit and passionate team.

Thanks for delving into the nuance and avoiding a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Excellent delivery, highly applicable topic. A bit absolutist...there's some level of nuance for pragmatic application of Free Software principles...but given how software has eaten the world the discussion of who owns the code and who the code works for has to be at the front of folks' minds way more than it is. Particularly for those writing said code. This talk delivers on this need.

Other conference organizers, yes, you want this as a keynote. It's position as a closing keynote worked quite well.

Great talk!
Free software movement was a bit outdated for the last 10 years -- good to hear it again!
I'm old enough to be a witness of Microsoft/Balmer's "GPL is cancer" statement.
We all need to make money for a living, but by acting together solving problems, not taking advantage by harming each other. Larry nailed it!

Free software is a major passion and fundamental belief of Larry's, and it absolutely comes through in this talk. The audience is taken on a roller coaster between "of course ethics are important, where's he going with this?" to "WTAF, what kinds of monsters would do that?!"

Would have liked to have more "how to-s". I liked seeing the stats from their A/B testing.

Great speaker, lots of good ideas and suggestions for starting to do code reviews.

Not what I expected based on the title. The stats were interesting but not very much information on how to do optimization other than guess and check using A/B testing.
