php[tek] 2024

Great talk about taking small steps to handling a monolith and generally improving the code quality. A must for people dealing with some nasty big code bases.

I've seen some form of this as a tutorial in the past, and I think this format makes the presentation more accessible to a larger audience. So while this was a lot of review for me, Pauline knows her stuff and fielded questions well, so this would be a solid inclusion at future conferences with no changes (though the American idiom is "running around like a chicken with its head cut off"...but that's a little further from the "detached HEAD" reference so YMMV)

I've been playing around the edges of LLMs recently, and this talk was informative and absolutely worth my time, as was hanging around for questions later. This definitely felt like it could expand to a 45-50 minute slot and be even better, and if I saw that version of the talk on the schedule somewhere else I'd attend it again.

Great talk Larry, and thank you for all your work with PHP! Loved hearing an opinionated technical talk. Excellent arguments and valid points made to promote best practices with typing and classes.

Pace was too fast to keep up with while trying to understand the concepts and take notes, could slow things down a bit. The red font on black background was not readable on the projector screen.

Very interesting information, I really enjoyed the highlights pointed out to be able to peer through some of the reasons behind the numbers.

(watched via. live stream). Great talk. Lot's of useful & applicable content + examples.

The jokes could be improved: I feel like I have... herd them... all before 🐘.

Great talk, clearly coming from experience. I do wish some of the slides were a bit larger to be able to read.

I just didn't find this talk very relevant. I don't want to get into it too much, but I think this talk would be more relevant given to high school, college, or bootcamp students.

Great talk filled with exciting features that I can take back to the team, thank you!

Great talk and covered a lot of information. Went a bit fast, but that can't be helped when covering so much.
