Really enjoyed this talk. Great to have an international speaker and also yay for having a lady!
It was easy to follow and we were able to walk through the steps needed to set up the chatbot. Even though I didn't have a laptop at first, I was still able to catch up in my own time and complete the walk through.
I was looking forward to this talk. Hope you get well.
This was very insightful. Thanks for the awesome talk.
Great talk. No prevarication or magic. The only reason this isn’t a 5/5 is due to the bad advice; “don’t use exec/eval”. Amateur!
So many times I've seen developers making the simplest mistakes. Very good security overview. Definitely need to have the hacker mentality when writing good code!!
Very insightful.
Really fascinating and captivating talk. Although a little bit rushed, but what do you expect when trying to compress a culture into a 45 minute talk.
10/10 would recommend.
Talk was really quiet.
This was a refreshingly different topic than those that I’m used to. I’m not currently a freelancer, and certainly not looking to ramp up freelance commitments; but I still found much of the talk useful. Lots of things I wish I’d know years ago, when I did more freelance work.
The talk was super, super short. It’s interesting that the session still ended up running a little over (no problem!) because of about 30 minutes of questions and answers. I think there’s potential for a topic that is: “I’ll give you a 15 minute introduction, and ask me as many questions as you want”. That’s a more honest abstract of what happened.
Perhaps the questions (shame the talks and questions weren’t recorded) would also be good additions; to increase the duration of the talk.
Glad I came!
Hi, sorry Brad, I'm obviously not your intended target audience either. As I'm new to the world of PHP, I was just wanting to get more familiar with Composer as I'm a 'composer install' user. Barely knew what Composer was before attending the conference. Perhaps a little variation in addressing people at different experience levels.
