What did I think of this talk? It depends... It's really useful to challenge the tendency to do what we've always done or to form an opinion without challenging it at every opportunity. This talk got me thinking, and that's never a bad thing.

Great talk highlighting the how's of writing rules - looking forward to trying it out for a few things in my codebase

Loved it, immediately had lots of great ideas to implement!

Really loved the interactive bits. Interesting talk, and interesting to see how widely different people's opinions are on things depending on your background in the industry

Good choice of exploits for live demos, both of which were interesting and clearly explained, with good takeaways for what to think about in security audits. I would like to see still more examples, perhaps the introductory stuff at the beginning could have been cut shorter to allow room for a third demo.

Great way to start the day, interactive, humourous and some challenging questions

Thoughtful selection of opinions on interesting topics, presented clearly with a bit of humour and some effective audience interaction. Used the word "AI" the requisite number of times for a keynote.
