Great talk. I'll definitely move a pipeline implemented using Symfony events to an instruction bus - much simpler.

Thanks for answering all my questions after the talk too.

Super talk. I did lose track of the terminology at one point, but that might just be my inexperience with the subject and so many new concepts to take on board.

Really great talk that gave me loads to think about and apply to my work. The format of showing possible naming options and eliminating with rules was really clear and helpful. The nerves drop away with experience, so keep at it - this talk is definitely worth submitting to more conferences.

I really liked this, and I'm definitely going to try the object calisthenics. I would have preferred to hear more about the calisthenics in more detail, but maybe that's another talk... as a keynote, I think you did a great job of leaving us with an inspiring message.

Very useful overview of how to handle errors at scale. I took away some good ideas I can use at work. Thanks!

Loved this. I feel inspired to go away and play with all the cool apis I've never heard of now.

Good overview of the topic and well delivered. I'm not convinced by your idea of leaving feature toggles in the codebase though - for me this is the biggest problem with adopting them. In future it would be good to expand more on different ways of handling this

I really enjoy the talk. I struggle with naming things on a daily basis. I took a photo of your 10 top tips and hope to use this to help... there definitely are far too many managers in my codebase :)

I agree with the other comments about the speed of delivery and also lingering of the quotes as they were great but fleeting.

So much fun to be had in this talk, from the jokes, slides and physical demos. Really impressed how the speaker picked a good subset of the APIs and gave enough time to cover each rather than attempt to cover too much ground in not enough depth.

Personally I'd suggest moving the MIDI demo to be the last API covered as the physical nature of the demo lends it to be the natural crescendo of talk.

Really liked this talk and like all the best I immediately want to start applying the examples to my our code. The way the concept was explain through a real life but simple to understand example was really great.
