Talk comments

Your talk has piqued my interest in the hadoop cluster at work; thanks for the introduction to the technology stack behind hadoop!

Great talk, well delivered, and I'm now inspired to consider how I could be using a microservice based approach in my own work.

Very well delivered talk in all aspects, having good pacing and clear points with examples and some live coding that went (impressively) without a hitch.

I found some of the points a bit dry; some felt like they were just pointing out a useful feature of the IDE, and others were indeed controversial, but I respect that you put them out there as your opinion.

You made a clear point throughout your talk that solving performance issues is a very subjective problem, so it's understandable that you didn't try to go too in-depth on any individual examples and how they were solved, but rather covered the overarching principles and technologies that you've found work for you.

A good talk overall, from which I've learnt a few technologies which I'll be looking into more.

Well delivered. Interesting points. I'll certainly change how I frame conversations about time taken for certain tasks.

Nice introduction to the topic. Plenty to think about and take away.

Good talk. Amo did a great job of engaging the audience, no mean feat after Saturday night's entertainment.

I liked the fact that there were takeways that could be applied immediately. I learned a few more PHPStorm tips (always good) and also liked the HTML report for tests.

Some good Q&A at the end too.

Great talk, I went in wondering whether the "Nuclear powered" aspect of the title would be a tenuous link to whatever computer security approaches were going to be discussed; however, I was pleasantly reassured by very coherent examples of security techniques used in the nuclear and aeronautical industries and how they can relate to software development.

Great talk. Every conference from now till May 2018 (and probably beyond!) needs a talk like this.

Speaker was confident and made what could be a dull topic entertaining.

He also handled the Q&A session at the end well, especially from those who seemed to want to shoot the messenger.

Very effective delivery of hammering home great points on communities. The stories/experiences, humour and endearing slide content all came together to project important messages. A fitting end to what could possibly be the last PHPNW conference.
