Plenty of nice little 'take-aways' and tools to check out - would have been nice if it was a little longer, but still makes me want to start using Magento 2 for all our production sites now!!
Started off really promising - good innovative idea to explain git workflow using comics. However, in the end, it lacked depth. It was essentially just an explanation git rebase and I feel like you could have covered a lot more about git workflows in general and there different situations that might warrant using different methods, as you mentioned, YMMV - it's not one size fits all. So rather disappointed in the content. Nicely delivered though - Gav is very charismatic and clearly an entertainer at heart.
I love listening to Jordi talk. He's always so chilled and friendly (because he'll only berate you privately). I've always had a fear of regexes, although I'm probably better at them than I give myself credit for, I always flinch when faced with one, or at least the knowledge that now is the time to use one.
Anyway, this talk broke things down really well, and I followed along happily until he moved onto the lookahead/behind syntax, and then in typical fashion I hid back into my shell. I wish I could face them, like Nicolas Cage did in The Rock when confronted with Sergeant Crisp wielding an extremely sharp knife. He slammed on that rocket, "You know how THAT s**t works!!?". Nice one Nicky!
I unfortunately (not as brave as Mr Cage) will have to continue to try and face my demons and figure out exactly how that s**t works. Until then, I'm a half baked regexer, with plenty of space in my toolbox.
Thanks for the inspiration Jordi.
I'd dreaded that this was going to be a bit of a dry talk which would leave me struggling to stay awake, but Thomas' presentation was excellent with enough humour along the way to keep the vibe bubbling along nicely. As with all good talks, it left me with a to-do list of things to sort out on the back of it.
Good overview of LOTS of different topics to look at for future
Very informative, I've not done much with kubernetes so was great to see what it can do. The live-style demos worked really well.
Fun stuff with good insights
Nice review about tools, which were used/can be used to makes deployment process easier and automated.
Simple talk, but with real examples, which made this speech really attractive!
Well, I was surprised by this talk. I consider myself a regex veteran and diehard fan, so I expected not to learn too much in this talk - thinking it would be aimed at beginners, and it would be rather like preaching to the choir. However, some way more advanced topics were covered pretty quickly and I can imagine any newcomer to regex would have been pretty lost! So, if you are a beginner and expecting an easy introduction, I can see why you would be disappointed. However, I was really quite pleased to get a behind-the-scenes peak and learn some interesting regex gotchas. Definitely food for thought. Thank you, Jordi.
