PHPSW: Lightning Talks, April 2018
11 Apr 2018 at Desk Lodge

Great talk! A refreshing topic too - thanks so much for talking about it. Only thing that would have made it even better would have been some slides with the morals of the stories to help them sink in.

Well paced but felt like there was too much obvious information which made it hard to pick out out the important points. Suggest using less cluttered slides with clearer headlines of main points.

I loved this talk, it was thoughtful and thought provoking. I think the visibility point is really important. You gave me a better understanding of git GUIs, too!
I liked that you walked to the other side of the presentation instead of walking in front to point.
For a lightning talk it might have been beneficial to condense some of the points!

Bit rushed and could have less information. Howeber very detailed overall.

Good for people who do use the command line to see how useful a GUI tool can be. Talk overran so I think we missed some of the conclusions.

Good explanation of why things were important, and concept of narration. Could do with more clearer separation of points made.

Thank you Nigel. Great use of slide layouts, and useful knowledge (I've not used sourcetree, but will be investigating it as I use tortoisesvn). The slides could have been animated so as to not have everything on screen at once, but again it's a 10 minute talk.

This was a great talk. Very brave doing this without slides but that didn't affect the quality of the talk. I would love to see some cartoon illustrations of each story.

Fables was a really engaging way to explain the ridiculousness of some tech tests (and most other job interviews)! Nailed it

Loved the fable format - that sort of storytelling can be risky for a technical presentation but it worked so so well for this. It’s a shame the last part was compressed for time - so a small pacing issue there - but it didn’t detract from the message. Great stuff.
