Talk comments
Humorous and mainly tongue in cheek stuff. Not sure what the real point was but some food for thought. Should probably do stand up if the day job dries up.
Followed on well from from yesterdays API talk. Excellent content and well presented.
Lots of practical advice for building dashboards and effectively communicating, a particularly good mix back to back with juneih's talk. Particularly liked the trick with monitoring the derivative of the value.
Excellent presentation. TDD is definitely the way to go although pair programming is much harder to sell although the idea makes lots of sense.
Interesting talk, with some good insights into how easy it can be to make code which fails to clearly communicate, and useful suggestions on how to avoid it. Very much liked the drawings on the slides as well.
Always fantastic to hear ilia talk, this one started fairly high level and dove into increasingly specific and (for me at least) interesting areas. Great approach, and lots of practical advice.
Good overview of various techniques for getting good performance, and some interesting examples and technologies. Ending was a bit abrupt, and the flow of topics could be smoothed out, but good solid content.
Nicely presented, the topic was really interesting - we should always design our systems with failure as a common event, rather than hiding behind a rock and ignoring it. Learnt a trick or two on how to test socket failures too ;-)
Martijn has a very pleasant voice (and dialect), and I love his presentation style with one sentence per slide. The concept around it, with an alter ego as the Diabolical Developer, is pure genius. I'm afraid the entire evil corporation plan he's planning is going to get big though:).
I agree with some of the critique, I couldn't always separate between when he was ironic and when he was serious, but I'm pretty sure I'm confusing it with actually being offended because I disagree. You will never take VIM from me!
It's always nice to hear from an outsider, and I think this was a funny, thought-provoking and well presented keynote. Keep it up!
