I really appreciated the insights. The 8 points feel spot on.
It’s been interesting to witness the evolution over the years and feeling more and more of a draw back to clearly stated specs and requirements, regardless of the time it takes to put that together. It falls under the “measure twice, cut once” rule IMO.

Excellent explanation of whats happening under the hood and a great crash course on the usefulness of custom Attributes. I can’t wait to check out the packages.

It was all very clearly stated and easy to follow. I appreciated getting both the “how” and the “why”.

Wow, just wow. This was a great session. The examples were incredibly clear and I learned a great deal.
Everything was easy to read along and follow, and I cannot wait to leverage Rector even more than we are currently. It was well paced and thorough.

Very informative talk about features about which we need to be aware that could and will blow up our code sans rewriting the affected areas

Absolutely fantastic. This clarified quite a few nuances that I haven’t picked up on yet and I’m really excited about where the language is going. Truly transformative.
Everything was clearly presented and engaging.

Excellent engagement on this. The timing right after the Battlesnake competition was particularly effective, since it was still very fresh in mind from last night. Not only did I get a better understanding of how event sourcing can be stored and recalled, I got a better understanding of how Battlesnake works (win/win).
I particularly valued the projection and snapshot elements since that filled in some gaps in how this can be effectively incorporated.

I can’t wait to see where this product goes. I loved the presentation style, but I got lost on a lot of the examples since I don’t have a Laravel background.

Good frank talk with great talking points and arguments. Many talks introduce tools and concepts to increase complexity, so this was nice to promote simplicity. Great talk!

This was a very interesting discussion. Had no idea such a thing was possible. Not exactly sure how I might use it, but thanks Dave for imparting your knowledge!

Great talk on how we can design our projects to make life easier by testability
