Talk comments
Maybe my favourite talk of the conference. Generators are something I've always been curious about but never really groked. This talk did a great job breaking down how they worked and when to use them. And as a bonus, there was great information on extending Iterators. Well done!
Solid overview of PHP's trajectory and relevance of the RFC process. Appreciated the community call outs & thought it could've leaned into the people even more than just the process & concepts.
FYI, slides link isn't viewable.
Great overview & background of complex concepts and showed clear steps & paths for learning more, with clear incentives for why you'd want to continue.
Lots of content! Great primer and felt immediately actionable. As a longtime Redis user it had clear ways to keep my stack simple while adding functionality, which I put a premium value on.
I absolutely loved that she played her violin for the talk!
Talk was good. Content was hard to see due to low contrast between dark background and different text colors. Technical issues at the beginning could have been sorted out before the talk (during lunch or before the day or after sessions a previous day), but that isn't entirely speaker's fault. Was a little hard to hear the speaker as well. Ideally link slides here in joind.in before talk for ease of accessing.
Ideas and concepts were good. Nothing new to me was covered, but there were some good reminders like use more immutability and cleaning up code techniques.
Great step by step overview of what semantic search is. Made it really easy to see how to get started. Great talk.
Brilliant talk! I learned a lot about vectors, and feel inspired on how I can take this and try it out. Great technical details, good examples were used, slides were feature rich, and talk was presented well. Nice work Eric!
So much great information. Very consumable.
COULD: Maybe a few more code or visual examples.
Well presented, good information but alas it was all things I was already familiar with. Probably great for folks who haven't had the opportunity to see what recent versions of PHP have to offer.
