Great talk, good advice, easy to follow with great examples and tools. Topic can get a little dry so perhaps trying to add a funny slide/jokes in a bit more to lighten the load could work. Feel like it's really accessible for people who haven't done performance optimizations before.

A well presented talk covering some useful tips and tricks.
Some good take outs in here especially the tip to ‘fix your git’.
Good flow between the 2 presenters.

I loved the pet/cattle/panda analogy, it was really accessible. And you talked about almost all my favourite git commands (you missed cherry-pick, though)!
I would have enjoyed more conversation between the two of you. Where can I find the slides?
Thank you both for coming to talk for us!!

Some great tips, some risky tips but good to know when in stick situations. Could have done with practising a little more as it wasn't very smooth, I think it would have been more engaging if it was. Generally enjoyed the talk and liked the idea of 2 people deluvering.

Great concept that was well presented, and liked the inclusion of the lmgtfy links for further info

Excellent talk. Content was engaging and useful. Nice to hear about other people's hotfixes, makes me feel less shameful about mine!

Fantastic talk by Chris and Dave. Some excellent tips provided, a few which I will be taking away. The format worked well, with lots of sub topics. The use of memes was great. It would have been great to see some 'more'* live or prerecorded examples of the items shown to help explain some of the issues (eg around the slow query logging)

* Edit: added in the more as Chris has a small video of the git rebasing... (It's like he knew I wrote this comment ;) )

Lots of really good tips over a wide range of the stack. Some I knew and some that were completely new to me. Ran a little slow at points, but that’s no big deal. Thanks!
