php[tek] 2016

Excellent energy, and very actionable for anyone who maintains a project. ???? <-- (emoji thumbs up)

Great talk, very entertaining and informative. Wasn't aware that phpdbg supported code coverage reporting and hadn't used it much, learned a lot from the overview this presentation provided.

A highly entertaining and informative talk!

The rear-projection screen did effect the colours, but the slides were still clear and the code always readable (when not displayed as black on a red background)

Excellent speaker, but the slides are *abysmal*. Just walls of text. :(

I don't think the speaker really did a great job motivating JSON in the RDBMS context, but, hey, there might not be a satisfying answer to that question that doesn't poo-poo the feature entirely.

Enjoyed the talk and the code demos. Enjoyed the talk and the puns.

I came in with a good knowledge of monads straight out of Haskell, and this did a great job teaching me how to teach monads without talking about `(>>=)`, `return`, and scary type signatures. I can't speak to how this would be received by the uninitiated, but I recommend this talk highly.

Perhaps the only shortcoming was that I felt the speaker didn't have great responses to questions from the "skeptics". But I guess that's an open problem anyway.

Great stuff!!

The parallel Joe drew between dealing with legacy codebases and the stages of grief was worth a laugh. The presentation was materially excellent, but the organization was somewhat static. Too much like reading a list of thoughts. Presenter was quite good as well.

Two speakers was a bit awkward. Lots of unexplained acronyms and jargon.

The material was really specific to their use case and yet still not concrete enough. I do think it's valuable to just see what other organizations are doing, so that's perhaps a minor complaint.

Good material. A lot of common sense stuff, but it's valuable to hear common sense confirmed by experience.

Great, great, great!

Some of the slides were a bit distracting, but Simpsons GIFs sure beat a wall of text.
