Talk comments

Good talk. Interesting to see the different metrics that can be applied to code, and the tools that we can use to apply them.

Open, honest, disarming, very inspirational. Thank you for sharing your personal experience - it was really eye-opening. A superb way to round off the conference, very thought-provoking.

Superb talk - may have been my favourite of the conference. Clear, concise, great examples, and you were really engaging as a speaker. I took lots of notes which is always a good sign! Also recognised all the bad examples with "yep, my code looks like that currently", so a real impetus to go away and make things better :-)

Liked the stuff around PSR-7 and middleware

Thank you Stefan, you tackled and important and difficult subject with passion and humour. It's amazing that this actually moved more into a discussion at then end.

Food for thought.

Great explanation of how to work effectively with BDD/DDD. Inspired to try this out at work now. Already downloaded and played around with Behat over the weekend :-) Ciaran's delivery was also well paced and easy to understand. A good presenter.

Very interesting (and not just because my face was on the slides at the end!) - I always like hearing talks that show evolution of projects and how those techniques can be applied to your own. As others have mentioned, it was a little fast-paced at times, but your enthusiasm for the project and the changes clearly shone through :-)

One note for the future - I was sat at the front and at times, the code segments were hard to read for me because they were quite long at points. Maybe reduce the amount of lines down and/or reformat the code to highlight the point you're making.

I very much enjoyed the talk, Rob delivered with his practiced ease as usual. Upsides include I actually found out how to generate cryptographically secure 6 digit "random" numbers, which was a bonus and I definitely have enough to get add 2FA to any sites I need to. The only negative was maybe I would have like a little more depth in places, it felt pretty lightweight, but it's hard to pin down exactly why.

Overall definitely worth attending, thanks Rob.

Some of the information was a little basic. Nevertheless, a good talk with plenty of information on keeping code clean and reusable.
