Just an amazing talk which is not about programming.

Just awesome and I totally recommend this talk!

I like your style of talking, you explain topics in a very clear and concise way. Just like your previous talk, I took away quite a few things from this one. Thank you.

As I told you last night, I think you took a really good approach to talking about this subject in front of people that are generally not WordPress-lovers. The combination of funny remarks and bringing your serious point across worked really well. The most important thing that can be improved is to ensure the talk is not cut up into seperate blocks without relation. It sometimes felt like you were doing several small talks right after eachother.

These are the talks that I look for on conferences, this isn't information you can find on stackoverflow.
15 minutes is not much time to have your audience switch over from programming related talks to soft skill talks but I think you managed to do it quite well.

What I took from this talk is that awareness is important, not just for yourself. Recognizing a problem is the first step in solving it and with that also a lot of other related problems.

First of all, I think it's great to finally have had a wordpress speaker at the meetup. I think we all agree that the wordpress community and the rest of the php community should start sharing knowledge more.

I understand it's hard to go up there and try to convince people it's not all that bad, and I think you did a good job in not trying to convince people but instead explain why certain decisions have been made.

Only tip I can give you is be more confident in what you say, perhaps practicing more can help you do that..

This talk gave the perfect amount of information to answer my questions on event sourcing. It was a clear use case, there were clear advantages and you kept the focus on event sourcing.

In the full version of this talk I would expect to also hear about common pitfalls when using event sourcing, I understand this wasn't part of the lightning talk due to the time constraint.
