Talk comments
Great talk giving a different point of view in the world of software development. Talk was clearly given with good examples and demonstrated smart goals in the development process and project planning. Thank you.
Excellent examples, really easy to use and integrate into a variety of old code.
Some polish on the slides and integrated speaker notes would make this a really good talk.
Good advice on how to tackle something most try to avoid!
Interesting, i will look into this but needed more time to understand it (probably me not your explanation)
A lot of good problems found in legacy code bases, very relatable. Well delivered with good code samples. Could have done with a little longer on the code slides but well explained and very clear
Love the title.
I like having an agenda, as it were, for the talk on the first slide. I like that you developed a subtle, intuitive shorthand to communicate with your Glamorous Assistant.
This was full of really valuable information, and actionable advice, for external APIs as well as internal legacy code! I think you used concise, effective vice examples, which really reinforced what you were saying. The frequent summaries helped me keep track.
There are some good apps to combine speaker notes and slide switching, shame about the mic.
Really impressed overall!
Lots of good advice, maybe cover naming conventions too. Clean code examples and the talk flowed well between each tip in an incremental way. Well done.
Great talk, insightful and humorous and easy to follow even for a non-techy like me! Even better if........I could programme.
A great simple talk, well punctuated with images.
Would be nice to have more horror - what happened to the server, hows busy was the site when it happened?
Good use of imagery, a refreshingly different perspective that this industry often overlooks. Well done, especially after a 16 hour day!
