Talk comments
Chris gave a great primer and intro to using Rector. I was familiar with the Rector project but the talk gave me enough inspiration and interest to actually try using and applying to a real-world problem. Paired well with Dave Liddament's workshop later that day. I would echo the feedback around code snippet visibility using dark-mode screenshots, but I was able to get the gist in the moment. Thanks for the talk!
Kudos, it was very interesting to see how Florian approached the 1BRC in PHP. Also prompted me to look into improving access/ergonomics of profiling tools in development and prod tracing for projects I work in.
Saw Tim give this one two years ago but it's still a great talk and seems to have been updated since. Great delivery and takeaways!
Tim presented this talk well, keeping the audience interested and learning. The principles and arguments made were helpful in giving value to tests. The live coding was helpful, but the font was pretty small and hard to read. Overall a great talk.
Andrew did great walking through each PHP version and going through new language features that can be used. The code examples were good at demonstrating usage.
Great talk digging into Rector. I had heard about Rector, but hadn't seen what it could do. The talk motivated me to learn more and give it a good try. Great talk!
great talk covering multiple steps for security threat modeling and testing. particularly enjoyed the opening credit card story
This is probably the talk I was most excited about this year. It just happened to coincide with a big project I'm working on making some admin UI pages in a laravel project.
If you told me afterwards that this was Easton's first conference talk, I wouldn't have believed it. Well done, sir.
great point about keeping crons maintained and some good tools to help with not messing them up
Really interesting talk! I appreciated both the overview of different business/operational requirements which call for particular solutions when it comes to serialization. The level of technical depth was good while still being grounded in practical examples and scenarios. I haven't used Serde but I left thinking about the different implementations where it would've come in handy. Admired the API design which revolved significantly around attributes which help position definitions in PHP, etc. as the "source of truth" for serialization rather than maintaining multiple schema definitions which must be maintained in lock-step manually.
