Incredible talk! Great information that I wish more API authors would keep in mind!

Very simple. Describing ls, mkdir, and cd are not necessary. Time could be put to better use going over more of the ways you would be working with bash commands on a data set. Perhaps state beginner in the title... Also started late and ended early. The good stuff was over in about five minutes. Could have been so much more.

Good session. Enjoyed it immensely.

Excellent talk, covered necessary basic knowledge on the topic and provided several useful resources. I appreciated the interactive, almost workshop-like form factor of the exercises -- too many discussions of impostor syndrome describe it without proposing an actionable way to combat it.

Good session. Have some examples that you run or can have the class run along side of discussion.

Great content, and presented well! Aaron is clearly passionate about the topic, and his insights into the nature of "luck" in the industry would be useful to any conferencegoer. I can imagine a slightly modified version of this talk working well as a keynote at an event like this.

The "sniff your neighbor" and bondage jokes were a bit awkward. Good talk on the whole; content flowed well and was free from distracting presentation errors.

Content was perfectly scoped for the time available -- everyone's questions got answered, without finishing early or running late. Some content overlapped with the tutorial, but it was eaisier to understand when presented interactively. Live demo of speed performance and FFI use in Python was excellent.

Good introduction to phpspec and behat. Good pace and answers to questions. Only suggestion would be to spend more time on examples but overall great presentation.
