Enjoyed

Great talk with good code examples. Only with the live demo would've been more ... functional, but wasn't the presenter's fault.

Great topic and good, albeit nervous, presentation. Want to echo comments re: speaker notes and a demo. Would've driven the point home if we could have _seen_ the way websockets work. Slides had a lot of information, and Jeff read most of it aloud ... simpler slides (with info on speaker notes instead) would make the presentation much smoother.

It was an interesting talk. Chase was able to well explain what traits are, and how to use them. But it was too short. Traits are simple, but it could use real life examples. Maybe some simple simple without / with traits to show how they can be implemented.

If you could give a couple more diagrams of how the systems takes to each other it would have been helpful. You mentioned you had two servers and it would also have been useful to see how you pushed from on to the other so they didn't push back to the other and cause a loop. The load balancing is something that really intrigued me and just wished it was explained in a little more technical terms. Over all I enjoyed it and got good information and hope this helps to get even better for next time.

Very enjoyable talk. Clearly described the problem his company was facing and the solution using docker.

Great content but could have been longer. As another reviewer suggested, more coverage of the basics could have filled things out. Some good takeaways!

Great, interesting topic with a real-world implementation (as opposed to the classic websockets demo: the chatroom).

Jeff was visibly nervous (totally normal for the first time speaking in ~15 years), but seemed the most comfortable at the beginning. He may be more comfortable using speaker notes to organize his thoughts while relying less on slides overflowing with information.

The talk could also benefit from a demonstration, perhaps showing the server activity on a local copy of the application as it runs (or similar).

I'm excited to see how this talk will evolve, and hope that Jeff continues to speak at conferences.

Thank you for your talk. You went from a history of chaching to how to use modern technology in a very informative and engaging way. I look forward to seeing more of what you have to offer in your other talk!

Although I wish more people came there were great ideas for future conferences.
