I was impressed by the scope of experience and opinions brought to the floor in this discussion. I only wish we'd had more time to unpack the issues that were brought up.

Sammy this was one of the most well done talks I’ve ever seen! Great job.

Especially appreciated the discussion of dealing with the common "difficult" personality types you encountered during your career advancement.

This was a very valuable talk. There was an interesting tension between the criticisms of corporate efforts to include mindfulness training and your strong advocacy for developers learning mindfulness techniques. I understood your point that these initiatives are not a panacea for a toxic work culture. Do you have examples of companies using these programs to positive effect?

Great talk. Personally I can relate to many of the stories and experience that was shared. This talk served as a great reminder of the value we provide our organizations.

Great talk. Loved the breakdown of an architect and discussion points on about team leaders and architects.

Great talk.

This was a great topic for a "survey" type of presentation. The extended Q&A session really showed the depth of your experience.
You could expand this into a workshop-length presentation quite easily. It would be valuable to get a taste of the differences in writing, deploying, and operating a serverless function between the different platforms.

Before attending this session, I was concerned about its length and how in-depth the content would be. I was very glad that neither of those concerns were an issue. Brandon did a great job of going through SOLID as well as some other OOP design principles.

I went into the talk with a basic understanding of those principles, and after the talk I felt that I had a much more thorough understanding of not only the principles, but how they relate to each other. I also feel that it was great to include many of the exceptions to these principles, and their drawbacks in certain situations. The code examples also helped to make things more clear.

This was a very fish rank5 (aka excellent) introductory talk for the conference. I've been inspired to give my local PHP Meetup a try. Lots of engaged and nodding heads in the audience. No idea there were so many first-timers at this conference!
