This was a mixed bag, on one hand you have two great people with a lot of knowledge to share,
on the other hand you had this off banter, with maybe less of content than they wanted to convey.
But by all means it does not mean that there weren't bits of knowledge to be picked up,
they were just a bit too tucked in

Good talk about things that we should think of common, but many developers still do not use.
Good examples, good explanations, good advices.
This talk gives you a nice path you can implement on your projects to make you life easier, and code of higher qualityh

Liked the two speakers concept a lot but it could use a little bit more polish to make it really shine. Intro was a bit too long and it took its toll on the end when it felt a little bit rushed. Other than that, great talk, very useful.

Good talk, fun presenting, and Phil just smashed through it, quite a few bits of knowledge to be picked up

Absolute favourite, great talk and a perfect fit for closing the conference. Good mix of things that you can immediately use in your everyday work, things that will come one day and things that will blow your mind.

This was talk gave me good insight in current state of affairs, mixed with how we got to here.
And I agree that stricter typing should have been used in php7 (and that nice lil' pragma is so going into
all our projects)

Chris had covered it all, he had stage presence, he had great flow, he had good delivery,
even had a graceful exception handling of technical difficulties.
If he did not said so later, I never would have guessed this was his first performance of this talk.
Yes, this was a "story of me", and that is quite ok, to some people these might not be their cup of tea,
but regardless it is good to hear it.

I love listening to Chris, he's such a cool and interesting guy.

However, I'm not a big fan of "this is my life" talks. I think that there isn't much to take away from this talk from a technical perspective. On the positive side, it's an interesting and motivating story about personal success.

Just a little sad that Chris flew over all the way from Canada and we didn't get to learn from his great knowledge of software testing.

I had no idea a talk on testing could keep me on the edge of my seat for a full hour.

Gojko is obviously a man of great experience in testing software, and the talk covered the present and future of testing. It was a real eye-opener. The takeaway from this talks is a long list of concepts and tools (some of which have not yet been invented) well worth looking into.

Don't listen to his "prepare for some bad English" remarks, he is a very fluent, well-paced and witty speaker.

IMHO, the best talk of the conference. Bravo.

This talk was one of the best talks I ever had a chance to hear ever.

Presenter has unique quality to keep attention. This man share his energy with audience and I heard people around me saying "This man is so good".

For other conference organisers: You want Gojko as your speaker and you need to give him prime time slot.

I heard so much quality information coupled with interesting stories that i would give him at least 6 stars. I will buy his book definitely.
