Talk comments
Interesting thoughts on using, contributing, and running OSS projects.
Fantastic talk breaking down achievable steps to incrementally converting nasty, legacy codebases into modern, usable, maintainable codebases. My personal experience resonated strongly with many of Paul's suggestions, while he also brought up several ideas that were new and inspiring. Absolutely great. Can't wait for the book.
Lots of good information, especially how composer handles the version matching.
excellent talk - I'm excited to refactor - go figure it
This is an inspiring and fantastic talk that provides value to all levels of developers. Experienced devs gained insights about how to tackle a large refactoring project, whereas lesser-experienced devs were given an instructional guide on how to move from procedural code to object-oriented programming.
Paul is a really engaging speaker which made this talk even more of a joy. A+.
Wow. Just, wow. I'm still going to struggle against the allure of starting over from scratch, but Paul's "simple" strategy may just tip the balance. Appreciate the very clear 1-2-3 approach. This is one I want my entire team - and my management - to see.
Can't wait to read the book!
If you only see one talk, this should be it. Paul is a great speaker, and the content is something that all developers need to learn.
great talk - learned how to figure out my dependency problems
One of the best at the conference so far. Paul's passion and energy were contagious! His humor was mixed in with some really clear, focused suggestions for modernizing a legacy PHP application.
Great keynote and delivery. Awesome way to kick off day two.
