Great insightful talk, a great addition would be a more practical description of the new WebAuthn standard.

This was the perfect talk to kick off the (main) conference — full of enthusiasm, warm, fuzzy feelings, and empathy. Also, the entire room now understands "the Pac-man Rule", which is a great thing to cover at the beginning of a conference.

Great talk. Very positive with lots of energy. Margaret has a great sense of humor,

One thing I would like to have seen are more tips on how to overcome personal challenges with getting involved. Shyness, social anxiety, how to start up conversations with strangers, etc. this is where I personally have most difficulty.

The information was excellent, and Eric clearly knows his stuff. I learned a few things and was inspired to do a similar talk for my team and local community.

The only reason I didn’t give 5 Stars was because the workshop Docker environment didn’t work well. I was on a Mac and I couldn’t get anything from the server but an error response. My colleague was on Windows using Docker Toolbox and couldn’t get the volumes to mount.

Eric was clearly trying to make it easy to get setup by offering the Docker option, but we ended up being unable to do the exercises because we relied upon it. If it’s not compatible with many systems, it’d probably be better to have attendees setup their own environments beforehand.

Really liked this talk. Full of energy and lots of good info foe getting the most out of a conference. Sad I can't give it 6 stars.

Great talk! Beau made a complex topic easy to understand. I particularly liked how he was pragmatic about CQRS pros and cons instead of fanatically evangelizing it.

The talk was a little difficult to follow during the first hour, but everything came together after that. I certainly have a much better understanding of what CQRS is (and what it isn’t) now.

Passion's so important for a topic like this, and Margaret has plenty. Thanks for sharing!

Interesting and entertaining talk. Some useful take aways. A great start to the conference.
