Really enjoyed the analogy of training us new/newb developers. Another nice presentation using gifs to keep the audience engaged.
Small tip that might improve the presentation a tony bit, you can skip asking people if they use a tool or a particular technology if you’re going to explain what it is anyway.
Great talk, clear and well delivered. Seemed casual and well thought out but with great info and will help seniors rethink their position with junior developers
Good intro. Keep a consistent volume, you went a bit quiet when you talked about the academy people in the room.
Relatable on-stage presence! Really good points, I saw the people around me nodding pensively.
Enjoyed the eye-contact. That came out weird.
I love the emphasis on how important getting it right is for the junior devs/students.
Will use the motivational advice, about picturing where I was to were I am now, in the future. Also, loved the gifs.
Interesting talk on postman, highlighted some useful features id not seen before which would help with api development
I needed this last year! Great stuff, great demo.
It was good that you went over the postman section just in case. It would have been helpful if you could zoom the postman stuff a bit.
Oh my gosh I love postman environments.
I hadn't come across setNextRequest - looks like it'll come in handy!
Request chaining is exactly the feature I have looking for in API browsers.
There are so many features and you managed to cover an awful lot of them.
The live demo was really well done, but I think some of it could have been converted to small screen captures to make it easier to structure the talk.
Some great tips about some of the more useful parts of postman that are a bit more hidden. Loved the practical demo actually showing us how to do it.
I was very impressed. I have a junior developer and agreed with everything said and presented. A way to improve such a good talk is possibly have a junior dev there who can back up what you've said.
