Talk comments
A difficult topic to tackle, but relevant to everyone in the industry. Good structure to the slides deck, aptly built around a Maslow pyramid parallel. Clearly a knowledgeable speaker too, but the pace of it was lacking either a bit of rhythm or a bit of "zing" and passion. A worthwhile presentation though, and I think one of the best at the conference.
Absolutely fantastic closing keynote. Brought in little elements from the day's talks and offered interesting methods to approach writing code.
Just wish there was a golden solution to do so on an existing codebase!
A live demonstration that worked deserves a 5/5 in itself ;)
A wonderfully insightful talk into the different ways to handle errors, including examples to help debug from single servers to scaled solutions.
Enjoyed the talk! The speaker was clear and understandable, even from the back.
The slides were useful and to the point and really got me hyped about MySQL 8.
Shame it's seemingly a long way from production release.
cake!
Really found this useful.
Stuff is already been put into practice
Lots of new things to think about and how we could go about doing this better in our org.
Could probably have done to be either a longer talk or more indepth on sections as it was a bit fast
Interesting talk. Hope we can upgrade soon.
Didn't get a dolphin though so :(
Probably something we are all doing but are unaware of its power
Michael put this into ways of how to do this more centralised.
It's something we have already put into practice the day after the talk
The topic might seem trivial at first, but this delved wisely into the structure of names to provide a (pleasingly) pedantic, practical and thought-provoking talk. Some of it will have seemed common sense, but there were plenty of things to take into day-to-day work and reconsider some old habits.
Full marks for overcoming some presentation nerves and never breaking stride through the talk. Where it was lacking in audience engagement, this more than made up for with a great structure, a bit of humour, and great enunciation throughout. A very enjoyable presentation.
