Talk comments
Nice overview and great examples :-)
Great presentation - kept the talk engaging. I didn’t quite buy-in to PHP being the last open source language, and would have preferred more PHP-specific stuff than just the history. But overall a good keynote and open to the conference!
Loved the inclusion of emojis in your class names!
Chris is a really good speaker, but unfortunately the title of the talk and the talks content didn't align.
The history of Open Source was really good, but I don't believe that PHP is "the last true open source language" and the talk did nothing to convince me otherwise.
Great history lesson but wish it was more PHP specific.
Really hard to rate - I thought it was an interesting talk about Open Source history and had some great points about how we got where we are.
However, from the title I was expecting some detail about how/why PHP is more Open Source than its contemporaries and we didn't really get there so it felt a bit unsatisfying. It might be as simple as my expectations being out of line.
I always find keynotes a bit generalist but it set the scene for PHP Conference and the open source message is inspiring. The history of Open Source may be interesting to younger developers, but having been using PHP since 1995 and Gnu tools since 1990 there wasn't much for me here.
Excellent history lesson. Well presented, and I thought it gave a great backdrop for why we do PHP.
Great talk
Good talk and enjoyed the humour. I felt like this talk could possibly have been improved by focusing on some specific areas more - going from focusing on code through to agile retrospectives felt a little jarring.
