Talk comments
An engaging and inspirational talk. A great subject to end the conference on and fire people up before going home.
Delivery was a little fast sometimes. Nice and clear slide designs. My only niggle was that I don't think you needed to swear so much to get the message home.
From point 1, Juozas said what he built was rather useless but by sharing the story of what he learnt in building his own interpreter, it brought in an appreciation of what is happening underneath the PHP code.
The delivery pace was spot on and the code colouring in the examples really helped.
Went into the talk not knowing much about compilers, left understanding way more. Thanks.
I didnt know anything about Machine Learning beyond the general concept of "data goes in, the computer does things, patterns come out" so I was going in completely new.
The talk did a great job as an introducing what machine learning is and exampled really well how its implemented.
Brilliant talk that does a great job at highlighting some of the key issues with diversity in our industry. The overall tone and the emotion that came across in the talk made it very powerful.
Great honest review on being a maintainer of an open souce project.
It was interesting to hear how it effected you personally and your initial thoughts on situations and actually what happened.
Really enjoyed the actionable points at the end of the talk which were any open source project would welcome.
It was very Jordi, like you were having a conversation at the pub with him. Sometimes spoke a little too fast with the accent which made it a little unclear was what being said, but overall lots of thumbs up.
Tess, for your first conference you did well. You did not sound nervous, spoke clearly and used pauses well.
I think there might be a tiny bit of preaching to the choir but I know that there will always be someone who wants to know about this stuff or need a refresher. It was good to go back to theory that can be done on any version control and remember there is more to version control than git.
It was easy to get hung on the fact the examples were not in git though considering its popularity.
Maybe adjust the content a little bit if you give this talk again but I do think it delivered on what you set out to do.
> probably paid for you to speak at teh conference.
I meant paid for you to be there. I realise travel costs ain't cheap. I do appreciate that you kept it under 5 minutes.
Great talk with some really interesting side notes as well. Like the release cycle of MySQL was really interesting to hear about.
Wish you didn't have to do the Orcale speel but I do appricate that they are the company you work for and probably paid for you to speak at teh conference.
Enjoyed the cheeky and fun tone of the speaker - it helped keep me engaged. Loved the honesty in q&a too.
Left the talk super excited about having a project which can use JSON data type and PHP7.
Lots of information packed into the talk.
The delivery could have done with a few more pauses to allow information to sink in.
Nice use of PhpStorm in presentation mode.
A hard topic to talk about with a smile on your face. It might have not been aspiration with high energy but it definitly was food for thought for the conference.
I can understand how it seemed deflating, but it made me really want to try and do better.
When talking about sexism, it missed mentioning the struggles trans and non binary people have to also endure.
It was great how Kayla showed it wasn't just a technical issue and that the pre conditioning happened way early on.
