Talk comments

Softskills are an invaluable asset to developers (and everyone). This was a good talk. I would have liked to see more 'tech' related stuff in the talk, though. Perhaps how to hack 'tech' conversations? I don't know, I just felt a bit mislead by the title afterwards.

boring. the talk did not fit the description. more advanced than I thought.

Entertaining and persuasive. Useful and cheeky plain language explanations for fancy phrases (e.g. Dependency Injection is just passing stuff around as parameters). A bit aggressive and dismissive at times. Might help to have a few more examples (e.g. a mock and something inappropriately tightly coupled).

Solid introduction to the Go language; only thing I would add to the talk would be a brief bit on what sort of problems people are solving with it. It has a HTTP server for use, but are people running simple brochure sites on it? Building CMS on top of Go?

Having developed for Drupal 7 for the past few years, this talk provided me with a solid understanding of what it will take to uplift our existing code base. More importantly, it showed me that Drupal is on a path to remove most of the pain working with D7 has provided.
