Talk comments
I liked the way it was presented and also the content itself was good and a valid point was made. I'm also annoyed as a user if there are useless limits or just stupid / not properly thought of UI. Would have been nice if more people attended the talk as I guess many need it...
But I also see that some things were just of a theoretical nature and can't be applied in practise: Nobody likes captchas, but if a large service replaces them with something self-built (well... don't reinvent the wheel...?) or a really simple solution like a trap or a match captcha, bot authors will just write an own script / adoption for it. So that just doesn't work in many cases.
It's the same with the names: While I agree with the names, it's just required for many business domains. You can't sell an airline ticket or register a domain without gathering that information. No matter if your business likes it or not, there are often requirements (legal, from another organisation, etc.) that require separating first and last name. Maybe an even better example would have been Street Name and House Number: Some countries have names for the buildings instead of house numbers and then often house numbers are limited to for example 4 characters. Also many countries specify an apartment name or floor number - often the character limit is just too low for that. Even more annoying with ZIP codes: So many wrong validation examples I ran into - they don't take into consideration that there are also countries with letters inside the ZIP code and not just numbers.
But it was a great talk and the points made are definitely very valid - don't gather information your business doesn't need and don't limit users unnecessarily, be it by silly length limits or not being able to paste into a field, etc. Thanks for the talk!
Awesome presentation skills and very entertaining. Also good content and information presented in a great way. Thank you for the talk.
Nice talk about Symphony 4 possibilities
A live demo is always tough, but is always appreciated! Well done.
Only complaint I have is that it's way too much info for a "beginner" talk and it became harder to focus. Will be coming back to the slides for sure!
A number of good points, and the experience that was shared was interesting. A nice topic change compared to all other talks.
One of the funner talks this year!
Content could fit on a few bullet point lists and be boring by itself, but speaker made it all very enjoyable!
Practical examples, good answers at the end of the talk nad useful tools mentioned. Enjoyed the talk!
Interesting and interactive way of talk, it keeps attention. Very useful content.
The content of the talk was very useful and Rafael delivered it in a way that kept attendees interested. Glad to have seen him again at PHPSerbia.
Great talk!
