Talk of the day for me. Mr. Baker clearly did his homework on this one!

Everyone involved in software development should listen to this talk at least once. :-)

Also liked the personal aspect of this presentation.

I don't like it when someone tells me what to do in my personal life, especially on a tech conference. I always tend to not trust people who try to tell me how to be more productive/happy/whatever, without actually knowing me. Maybe because I have heard too much nonsense about this in my life.

But if you do want to do a talk like this, and make me trust you, here are some tips:
* tell me what your background is. Did you study the subject, do you have a related job, do you just make things up?
* if you make statements like 'a little sleep of X minutes increases productivity by Y%', tell me: Is this your personal experience? Was there a research about this? Who did the research (give pointers)
* Don't tell me to stand up and dance. Just don't.

Liked the workshop a lot. The event storming practicum was very practical. The time restraint prevented much hands on coding. The presentation was good and informative.

I didn't know few SPL features, like types, thanks for that.

Interesting talk for further research

The introduction to event storming and event sourcing generally was very good. But it was more a talk/demo than a workshop imo. We were asked to bring a dev environment with php 7.1 and mysql, but I did not really use it. Following what you were doing was informative as well.

But certainly worth hearing.

Really liked the talk, explaining the essentials that I had to learn the hard way, it's a little bit abstract, so people that don't know a lot about testing might not fully understand everything, but for moderate experienced developers and more it's a really great talk!

Funny and entertainment presentation.
