Talk comments
No problem at all!
I love the simplicity of Matthias's slides. I find the clarity with which he can explain complex subjects impressive, in his book as well as talks. And when it comes to content, this talk is no different.
As for this instance of the talk: It might have something to do with the main stage and distance to the crowd, or it being the last talk of the day - but the crowd participation was less than optimal. A bit more energy might have been better in this case.
Like the rest I was mislead by the title. Also, I didn't quite get the problem that was being solved - so my interest in Baleen wasn't peaked. When it comes to delivery, I found the presentation had too many slides with bullet points, and was a bit monotonous.
Bonus points for having the guts to do a live demo though. That went reasonably smooth.
Jeopardy was fun! Next year 1 vs. 100? :)
The food was great and we had enough free drinks, great job!
A little snack on the tables or possibility to order some food/snacks at the hotel in the evening would be great.
The one thing that developers keep forgetting is "time". The passage of time will erode even rocks, and codebases are a lot less SOLID (pun intended).
Jeremy's talk adresses that nicely, and as usual there's always that one SUPER useful thing in his talk that you didn't know about before.
Had hoped to get a bit more/new tips out of this since it was an intermediate talk, for me these were more the basics mysql optimisation...
But still learned a new thing, did not know about the archive storage engine yet, so will play around with it for our use case and if it is labeled beginner I think it is a great talk to watch.
A very insightful talk, delivered with ease and expertise. Gained some good insight when it comes to dealing with the old codebases flying around.
Good, solid and enjoyable talk. Learned a few things and am looking forward to using the new and shiny L2 cache.
I feel the same as one of the writers of one of the other comments though: was expecting more in depth stuff about improving performance.
For those that already know or use doctrine the introduction on what doctrine/ORM is, was a bit long.
A very good talk on how to be a better human in general, I enjoyed that it lot.
If I where forced to give an area of improvement, I'd say there is room for "seven weird tricks" - to keep the pace just a little higher.
Nice introduction, learned some nice principles of RESTFull service I didn't know yet.
