A very clear explanation of a topic that has great relevance for me at present

Fantastic talk, Stuart was clear and the talk was incredibly informative. My only critique was that the code slides were sometimes a little difficult to understand at the speed and order they were presented.

Interesting about the code of conduct. An enjoyable start to the day, helpful introduction to the talks, the event, and ground rules.

Friendly staff, didn't have my badge ready, had to print one out while my colleague's was already prepared.
Catering was friendly and the drinks offered were nice.

Great talk, very informative, and well presented. I came away with a much improved understanding of the principles involved

Excellent talk. Was great to get some insight from real experience in building up a team from scratch both logistically what that takes and also what you need internally to properly "grow" a team.

Anyone who is even slightly responsible for recruiting/managing for development teams should view this as required reading. And even if you're on the other end of the scales, see this anyway, it gives you a great view into what you should look for in an employer.

Great introduction to feature flags and how they can benefit you but also some of the pitfalls. Only thing I can think of to improve it for me would be perhaps some examples of extra data/functionality that you can introduce when storing flags in a database etc.

But great talk.

Brilliant topic that I'm surprised hasnt had more attention in the past.
The speaker seemed nervous which I think caused her to rush when speaking a bit too much. The speaker just needs to relax a bit more with it, the content was great and I would recommend that everyone see this talk, whatever your level.

Brilliant talk giving some great practical examples on what makes up a pipeline and how to actually implement one.
Personally it felt a little too classroom/workshop-like to me with the speaker frequently posing questions for the audience to answer.
The talk seemed to spend a little too much time trying to teach/re-inforce DRY principles which just personally as a senior felt a bit out of place/redundant, and I would think if you're going to a talk about middleware and instruction busses you likely have a grasp on those DRY principles. But I enjoyed the talk and learned, having never implemented a pipeline from scratch before, only used existing ones.

This was an insightful talk, and a very clean, professional delivery. The focus on constructive advice, and reasons why the issues discussed matter, made for an excellent introduction to the subject. Glad I had the chance to see it.
