The talk was informative. The speaker delivered a professional talk that kept my attention.

Well presented. to the point.

Talker seemed nervous and didn't flow with proper full sentences for a big part of the talk. He just read most of the slides to us, which bored me.
But definitely a very valuable talk, as we need to understand the problems that one will encounter when dealing with inadequate developers.

Coming from a strong Agile/Scrum background I was looking forward to a talk on adequacy by a Product Owner. The points of interest had potential, he has good interaction skills with the crowd and usage of the digital question/poll was cool. The presentation did not seem very well prepared unfortunately. I think it could be an awesome talk, when presented better. :)

Was a well presented talk. The speaker is very knowledgeable and can share knowledge fairly well. Very enjoyable to listen to, but he did leave out some details which I would have liked to hear about. The talk needs to conclude a bit better, and a simpler, basic demo would have helped explain the awesomeness of web sockets.

I really liked the presentation. It had a lot of energy, the speaker seemed to be having fun. The examples were simple yet interesting and I learned a few things about the effect of "dead code" when you try looking for it or even removing it.

Talk delivered useful information. It was presented well, and the speaker got straight to the point. I found it very informative.

I liked the approach he used to explain the value of abstraction. I learned something new with the answer he gave on how deep you should abstract, with two levels.
He seems very passionate about what he believes in which i admire, but it did at times seem he may be a bit of a harsh personality if being interacted with. Personally I would have enjoyed his talk better if I felt I could easily talk to him about his passion. :)

Enjoyed the talk. Would enjoy a little more technical elements.

Quick, pleasant, nice and colourful slides. It was nice to listen to! :)
It was just an introduction, but I would like to see a talk in future containing more real-world examples/usages of functional programming.
