Great talk that helped me better understand how composer works with semantic versioning. Really cleared up some of the syntax I've been using. Feel like I'll be a better composer user going forward.

Eminently quotable. An actionable list of checks against some of the damaging human impulses exacerbated by our profession.

This talk also fit well with the theme of continuing education from the keynote and appreciating users' perspective from Eryn O's user interface talk.

The pacing was a bit uneven. The encouraged audience participation during the empathy section dragged a bit and robbed from more natural discussion which arose during the humility section, and the extra time spent put pressure on the final section on bettering your community.

Overall enjoyable and thought provoking.
