Very nice!

Enlightening and very well presented

Excellent way to engage audience and help them avoid common pitfalls.

The only answer that I knew would have been correct was "Your PHP knowledge level:". And I was right! Certified n00b. Thanks Juliette, awesome talk!

I have mixed feelings about the talk. The quiz format, while definitely engaging the audience, was a bit wasted time in my opinion. Why don't just go on and explain those tricky comparisons?
And then, some of the mentioned PHP functions are so dangerous (unintuitive result, different behaviours in different PHP versions) that the only good suggestion is "don't use them".
So I did not took away very much from it. Of course the talk was marked as "beginner" so it's probably a bit of my fault.

Interesting and funny. But, of course, I hate you! :D

Very fun lecture, different from all the rest. However, I think the time could have been better organized, I had a feeling that a lot of time has been wasted.

This was probably one of the best surprises on phpday this year.
If you have a chance to hear this talk, please do, just remember to check your ego at the door.
Juliette, thank you for this talk, and no I do not hate you :D
