Talk comments
Great talk. Some interesting ideas of how Terrence achieved the qps and struggles he had. I just don't know google apps and phrases like Firebase or appEngine doesn't tell me much. You could explain what those tools do.
A great talk on an interesting topic. Covered all areas with in depth explanations and alternatives.
The delivery of the talk was really good with the audience being kept entertained and engaged throughout. The only feedback I can give is that sometimes I felt as though more time was needed to digest the information on some slides, however I respect that it is a difficult process finding a compromise between the amount of content and time restrictions of a talk.
Great story about how hard Gary can get hit and keep moving forward. How much he can take and keep moving forward. I enjoyed it totally. Thanks for sharing.
These complex technical talks always attract me but in some cases they are hard to follow. That wasn't the case with Derick's talk. It was really well presented with well laid out slides to make the complex content of the talk accessible. Great to see more of the internal workings of PHP.
Despite all of the hype over Docker in recent times, I hadn't looked at it as I was happy with my setup. After reading the abstract for this talk, I thought I'd see what it had to offer out of curiosity.
I was happy I did so as the talk was a really good introduction to Docker. It flowed really well, explaining the concepts and going step by step through how to install, configure and use Docker along with clear examples, with references to environments.
John delivered the talk confidently and kept the audience engaged throughout so thanks!
It was nice to see some real-world examples of middleware being used. The explanations were clear, concise and easy to understand. The information taken away should be helpful to me in the future so thanks.
It was clear by some of the jokes you made that you weren't entirely confident but it was a good talk that was delivered well, therefore as an improvement I would just suggest to believe in yourself a bit more.
The immersion within the PHP internals and the jumps were really interesting, now I feel to understand PHP better thanks to Derick.
One tip would be to make some small pauses or more relaxed moments, since it's highly technical requires total attention, I know its hard to do that due the amount of content, but would be good to have some breaks, other than that everything was really good!
Really good talk, I like how the speaker was able to dive into the TLS details and made it easier to understand, I definitely learned much during the talk.
One improvement could be on the slides layout and when the layout had bullet points they were all showed in the same time, which made me read and try to listen in the same time. Doesn't decrease the quality level though, it's just a tiny improvement!
I've never really looked into CSPs before and found this to be a great introduction into the concept and how it works.
Would be nice to see some live demos however with the amount of content Matt already had and the time restrictions of an unconference talk, it's understandable. Maybe if the talk expands in the future!
I still don't understand how can I setup replicated mongoDBs and how to scale them in practice. The talk is though a good overview of capabilities scaling/sharding/replicating mongoDBs. Best explained part: failover pooling.
