Very honest, frank and detailed talk. Enjoyed it thoroughly from start to end! I'm sure everyone this took something away.

Matt did a great job breaking down Content Security Policies, I can't wait to use https://report-uri.com/ after hearing his talk. Very helpful, honest and funny at the same time.

Very impressed he's included demo content along with his slides!

Good talk, it was interesting to see Craig's different approaches for his legacy projects. Would love to see more about this, some of the parts were a little rushed but didn't take away from it.

Very detailed and concise, with the right amount of humour!

Great speaker, who had me engaged to start to finish. So much brilliant content it ran over a little but well worth it!

This speaker was very well prepared and very skilled. I really enjoyed this talk about AI and made me a little bit more forgiving towards Microsoft :)

I enjoyed this talk as it showed lots of experience fusing legacy applications with a framework. However, I would strongly advise against this. You can easily separate the two using webserver configuration, no need for the shared document root.

This was a great talk! I made lots of notes and the only one with a bold box around it in my notebook. The advice was:

"it's your responsibility to say NO!"

Thank you!

I enjoyed the first half of the speech despite the constant swearing as it had something to say. I didn't quite agree that talent does not exist, when it's scientifically proven that it does. Some people can learn certain skills faster than others and some people will enjoy doing different things. Despite my disagreement, I enjoyed hearing about different ideas.

However, the harsh left leaning political payload of the second half of the speech almost made me storm out of the room. I was lectured about my so called "white privilege", was called by names and told that telling a child that He's smart is a microaggression. At the very end, Meri received a gift and for some reason she insisted to thank it loudly by picking up the microphone with something like "at least it's not gendered". None of the other speakers thought it's necessary to say anything at all other than a quiet "thank you", even though there were far bigger names on the list. For me, this is where I decided I will never attend any conferences organised by this same team. If I want to hear an SJW/feminist speech, I'll attend a rally of any liberal or socialist party in my area.

I strongly recommend that before accepting someone to give a speech, validate what the person is going to talk about and in what style She's picking in doing so. It was very unprofessional, unpleasant and unexpected to hear these things in a technology driven environment.

Great talk, inspiring and a lot to take away.
