Talk comments
As someone who's had to deal with PECL, PIE is one of the most exciting developments in the ecosystem, IMO. Trends come and go, but good dependency management tooling is forever!
Great talk going into good incident response practices.
A fun, thought provoking presentation that made me reminisce on all the useful and not so useful things I learned in school. Enjoyed the conversation that the talk provoked.
Really excited at the prospect of finding a place to write our own rule to help our code out, great talk, great explinations.
Tons of great information about what to do when the worst happens. Great examples and lots of information about tools and processes.
One of our most useful tools that we have available to us as PHP developers
There is a lot to unpack and to think about, I appreciate the view into fibers that you presented.
This was a great dive into features of the language that are just not utilized as well as they should be, simply from a lack of exposure and understanding

Andy Snell is one of the most-reliably excellent technical speakers, and this talk did not disappoint. The information was certainly dense, but Andy did a great job of distilling the information and explaining when we might choose specific data structure databases.
