Talk comments
Gary's talk resonated a great deal with me - hearing people talk about their journeys is always good because it challenges my assumptions that I need to be have been born a genius, work every hour of the week or have a computer science degree to be successful.
Gary is a very honest speaker and extremely approachable. I would happily watch this talk again.
Although interesting, having someone read Wikipedia to you on stage doesn't make for a great keynote talk.
Classic Hockin. Some great points in the talk and a super success story
Really interesting topic, could've dived deeper into already existing tools and implementation, rather than sticking to analysis and comparison to other languages though
It was great to have someone stand up and give a talk about how confusing many of these terms really are - I think it's important to share that as it's easy to feel isolated when you think you are the only one who doesn't know these words.
It's also nice to see that I'm not the only one that has trouble finding a definition that makes sense.
A couple of the gifs / images were used to good effect, such as the one to describe encapsulation using cats but there are not many examples of this. I think Jennifer could have used imagery and diagrams more to explain visually what these definitions are as the talk was very wordy. The code examples that were in the talk went quickly and were quite small - I didn't find they helped with my understanding.
Lots of potential here and I think this is a talk that Jennifer should definitely build apon because the underlying point of the talk is one worth sharing.

Wow. Great talk on SOLID with some well thought through examples to clarify the principles in practice. Good and steady pace and a knowledgeable and engaging speaker. Definitely a highlight.
A good talk on an interesting subject, well delivered by an engaging speaker. Would have liked some more practical DIY/get started examples.
Excellent topic, excellent presentation
Some really interesting and discussion worthy points made, including branchless versioning, peer-review via pair-programming and conscious non-coverage (build failures on 99.9%), very engaging.
