Well done on delivering some great information about a potentially fairly dry topic at the end of an intense couple of days. You deserve that beer!
A great wealth of information on testing for performance, with good emphasis on making app/site performance a priority. Great speaker and great subject.
Excellent delivery but unfortunately the content didn't engage me as much as I hoped it would.
Great information and suggestions
Wow... and what a crash course it was! Excellent coverage of server side and client side performance testing tools. Well done.
Pierre was charming and a good speaker, and presented some interesting topics on PHP 7 and HHVM, including some of their internals. There were some also interesting third party libraries shown. He went on a bit long, but the subject of the talk made this less of an issue :)
Zach - I must get out of the way first - is an excellent presenter. I get the feeling that no matter what he talked about, people would listen. That alone is worth the 5/5.
Further to that, the talk was highly informative, tackled some pretty big ideas of culture and development process, and sounded like it honestly came from the heart of passion. Extremely relevant to my current position at work, I wish I could give this more than 5 thumb-things.
Interesting talk on scaleability with larger systems, particularly involving a heavy load of different types of (payment) APIs. The solutions were smart and good to delve into.
I enjoyed the talk. Loved all of the humour, subtle and otherwise. And, very informative, and well argued.
Only suggestion I would make: It would have been useful to put the motivation (the "why is REST graet?" slides) at the beginning, not the end, so I am extra-motivated to pay attention to the talk.
