Talk comments
An interesting overview of a very complex system. I would have liked a quicker intro, and more technical detail about the optimisations you made in the code implementation as well as in the infrastructure.
Love you 204 'trick' as a way for a backend service to return a response to the front end...!
I greatly admire your ability to present to such a large audience in a 'second' language :-)
Many good ideas here, well presented. I would have preferred less time on image compression and more technical detail in the other topics covered.
Another idea which might help the talk would be to give 'ratings' in a few scales for each idea e.g support: everywhere, time to implement: low, impact: high.
It was a nice talk about Vagrant and Puppet, although it was too complex and you speed up too much in the second half. But, to be honest, I felt a little bit like in 2013. Puppet is not particularly easy to learn (and I thing the complexity of things you showed in your presentation proves it) and Vagrant has a lot of disadvantages. Therefore, this tandem cannot be called the "perfect development stack". It could have been three years later, but not in 2016.
It's a shame that the audience might have left your talk with an impression that Vagrant+Puppet are perfect and that they should try them. Well, they're not perfect at all and you didn't say a word about disadvantages of them.
Perhaps a shade too negative.... while the problems are very real, and need repeating again and again, we really need more on solutions..... what is being done to offset *ism in the industry? what is working and what isn't? More on the how can we as individuals do our bit more proactively rather than simply highlighting the holes we should avoid falling into
Totally awesome! Thank you Jordi for a perfect keynote and for all your work in OSS!
It was a good talk to show what Phake is and how it can be used in PHPUnit. But for me, as a PHPSpec user, it wasn't that useful. I mean, you showed how to use it in PHPUnit and how it's better than Prophecy in PHPUnit, but you haven't mentioned anything about other PHP unit testing tools like PHPSpec. And, to be honest, I don't see any advantages of Phake over Prophecy in PHPSpec. Well, I see even some disadvantages of it (like a possibility to test private methods - you shouldn't test private methods at all).
It's a shame that the audience after this talk may have an impression that Phake is a holy grail. Well, it isn't really. Prophecy has been doing the same for years in PHPSpec.
One of the best talks during the conference! A lot of useful information, very well delivered.
It was a good talk, confidently delivered, on a very important subject with lot of important and practical information (I liked "anti-patterns" the most). But from the opening keynote I would expect to be more positive and motivating and this one was, unfortunately, depressing.
Whirlwind it was, but great to have someone distill it down to all you need to know as a developer.
An excellent overview, with clear and concise information on how to get a Docker-based system up and running.
Your slides and examples were very clear and I appreciated the live demos which you did.
I also greatly admire your ability to present so clearly and confidently in a 'second' language to a standing-room-only crowd :-)
