I saw this talk some years ago and it's still so relevant (which I'm bit sad TBH). As always, slides looked amazing, speaker was clear and entertaining (especially all 'not you Marco'/'except Marco' comments :) )

If he didn't move 'object calisthenics' from rules to guidelines + making them bit stronger, it would have been a clear 4*, I love how he did understand that enforcing rules doesn't necessarily help devs (IMHO it just makes developers find cases where it doesn't work)

Interesting topic, speaker was fun to watch. It was visible speaker was nervous at times, try to relax (I know, it's easier said then done)

For 5*: speaker should be a bit better prepared, there were more than few occasions where he went back, got lost or couldnt remember facts he was trying to point on..

Wow, I really didn't know how much SQL I don't know ..

TBH, it did feel overwhelmed at times, I would love if the speaker went thru less features but explained them bit more in-depth but it was a brilliant overview that will motivate me to check those things out

I'm so happy people are talking how communication between people is as important as communication between us and 'the computer' (the code).

I always enjoy watching Pim on stage and this was a great talk. On Pim's scale, this was just a 4/5 as I loved talks I previously seen ("Technically DDD" and "The Developer's Model for Talking to Managers") more. Not sure if it's possible to get this talk on that level though

It was fun, that is for sure!

At some points, it was hard to follow the game as it wasnt clear what is happening as contestants had their back turned towards audience. One big detail was missed, Jeopardy answers need to be done in form of a question...

Wow, PHP on .NET!! Very interesting idea and a nice presentation of it. While prerecorded demo was a nice addition, I felt it was more of a project presentation, I would like to have seen more details how I can call other languages from PHP and vice versa.

For 4* try to focus more on technical details and not on how Visual Studio works.
For 5* try to do the talk more as a duo, switching around on the topics and not like one person is talking and then when a technical question comes in, other one picks it up.

Rafael is really great speaker - that presentation was overview of things I have known already but it was pleasure to listen regardless from that

I just realize after that talk that I have to learn modern SQL. Thanks

Really like the Pim story about that 5 why method and how he apply it to project. Nice to hear that such BDD like stuff can work and works in real life :)

I would say that topic is a clickbait ;) This presentation is more about when testing have sense. Well played Miro, Well played ;)
