php[world] 2019
22 - 25 Oct 2019 at Sheraton Tysons Hotel

I'm looking forward to trying to apply these tools to our existing APIs and hopefully guiding them toward a more RESTful state.

I really enjoyed seeing the many parallels between philosophy and coding. This talk gave me the tools to see where I was already thinking critically and to be more mindful to actively apply that process more often.

Being mindful of our past always helps us be aware of our future. This was the theme for the entire overall conference and the bookending of this talk (Cal's talk on the future of PHP) with Samantha's talk on History of PHP (at the beginning of the conference) really grounded the conference as a whole.

Cal has a charismatic demeanor that really drives audience engagement. Adding snippets of his own history with PHP and becoming involved with the community had quite a few heads nodding in agreement. The elePHPant is pointed directly at the future, indeed!

Samantha's knowledge and depth of study on the origins of mathematical computations vs business logic were wonderful. Her approach to sharing this with the audience kept me engaged and intrigued!
Brava!

I agree with Tim.

There were parts that could be clarified a bit more, I think.

I liked the idea of this session, but it could be lighter on philosophy and heavier on technical content. I agree with Cecili that paring down significantly would help. However, I do appreciate that she took the audience seriously and believed --I'm assuming-- they could keep up with the content regardless of their background in philosophy.

I agree with the commentators; this was great. I wish the sound system matched the quality of the content.

Good panel overall. The best moment for me was when Beth gave an honest answer with personal anecdotes to a question about burnout or something similar.

Unnecessary pep talk; it was boring as hell. Sound system made it worse. I was looking around to see people's reactions, and there were quite a few that were about to fall asleep.
