Talk comments
Great talk which raises good issues. Interesting to get an insight into open source from a seasoned open source developer
I am new to Docker and this was a fantastic introduction.
The presentation and slides were really professional.
I can't wait to get started using Docker in my projects.
Really liked the talk, thanks. Docker a huge topic and you introduced it well
Overall, a good talk. Does what it says on the tin.
Examples are based on svn, which is still in use but has for the most part fallen out of favor compared to distributed version control systems. I think the talk's relevance could benefit from switching the examples to use a DVCS like git, which is mentioned in the talk and appeared to be used by most of the talk's audience when they were polled by the presenter. That said, many tools are mentioned that assist with the development process and integrate with git. I'm surprised workflows like git-flow didn't seem to get much of a mention.
One relevant subtopic that wasn't covered -- not the fault of the presenter, as I find it's a topic that really doesn't receive enough attention -- is the possibility of scripting proactive searches for merge conflicts between active feature branches and notification of concerned parties, so that merge conflicts aren't discovered late and force potentially hasty or risky resolutions or the exclusion of affected code from time-boxed releases.
PHP_CodeSniffer is covered. A more modern alternative that isn't mentioned is php-cs-fixer: https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer.
Commit message templates are mentioned, though I don't believe Github PR templates are: https://github.com/blog/2111-issue-and-pull-request-templates. Again, not the fault of the presenter, as the feature release was very recent.
A great talk with a plethora of information covered for just about everything.
Got so much out of this. From feature flags, to tips on deployments, monitoring and just about everything.
Really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing
Really relevant to our business at the moment and very clearly explained, some good concepts and ideas here, liked explanation of the circuit breaker pattern
Great presentation, very clear. In fact I stopped taking notes, I'll just refer back to yours! The application of it was a little beyond me though, so I'd still struggle to migrate from a traditional lamp model to docker, but I'm definitely intrigued and will find out more at some point!
Some difficult concepts clearly explained. Inspiring and enjoyable.
An interesting talk, well paced, structured well and delivered confidently.
Superb. Great humour, useful insight, helpful advice, inspirational... Basically everything I'd want from a keynote! Well done.
