PHP TEK 2025
20 - 22 May 2025 at Sheraton O'Hare Suites

This talk lacked substance and the group activities missed the mark with the audience. I can't think of much I could take away from this talk, except "There are things at work that may upset you. Be aware of them and they may not upset you anymore". It may have also been bad timing as the talk was in the mid afternoon on the last day so it was hard to actively participate.

I think the concept was valuable. however, I think a better foundation could have be presented before turning to group activities. Also, some of the questions could have been better tailored to an audience of developers that in some cases included co-workers.

Loved the premise and practical example of how to add this kind of behavior using tools we have in modern PHP. Examples were clear and understandable, the pace was great, and it's obvious this is something Dave knows very well.

The talk had potential, but didn't really feel like a closing keynote. Good to be aware of triggering reactions and feelings. Keynotes with group conversations feel a little weird.

A little above my head at some points (like talking about memory cores) but incredibly informative ! Can't wait to try out the skills I have learned

Very interesting material that was well explained!

My only suggestion would be to either cut-down on material so that more troubleshooting can be done and/or provide the prerequisites significantly beforehand. As a windows user, composer is notorious for having setup issues and I spent a good chunk of time troubleshooting in order to get composer setup properly to even start; by that time I was so behind I could only take notes!

Fabulous talk. The tips shared are incredibly valuable for any team looking to improve cohesiveness for contributors and good conduct that means everything at the end of the day.

Thanks Larry. Really exciting stuff.

Thanks Tim. Had no knowledge of this topic beforehand but am stimulated now.

Great to see the passion and reasoning for focusing on accessibility.
