Talk comments
Rick did great to step in last minute and cover a topic I was most interested in. Delivery was good and insightful. Sadly missed the questions as I had to step out.
Matt gives a good, confident and entertaining talk. He always brings forth anxieties for those not familiar with content security policies. Insightful to say the least :)
Very interesting talk, delivered well with some useful practices I hope to carry forward into my future development to make life easier. Thanks again :)
Entertaining talk and delivery was great and rather insightful. I'm sure Josh could have filled the entire morning with this talk if allowed.
I love Meri's speaking style. The swearing wasn't an issue for me, it felt like a conversation between friends, and that made the whole talk feel more hard hitting, it was like a friend telling you their story on how they've seen environments become inclusive places where the best work happens. This was a great way to wrap up the conference.
It was nice seeing things mentioned in the talk that reinforced some things I've put into practice. As always, there's new things to learn and I picked up a few tips and things to start bringing into our development process at work.
Adam has a great, clear and concise speaking style, and +1 for wearing the kilt!
As someone who uses Symfony components and who likes that they're able to be used outside of the framework itself, it was good to see a similar approach taken with another set of components.
At times jumping around the code felt a little hard to follow, so perhaps look at fewer components to cover and go into each one a little bit more on the benefits of integrating it.
My favourite quote from this was "testing clean code is easy, testing legacy code is hard" - all too often that gets overlooked and it was nice to see a real world example as the way to gradually move yourself out of an untested legacy nightmare!

Loved the humour and it made the distinctions between an Expert System, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning easy to grasp - a nice way to start the day looking at how it's evolved over time!
This was my best talk of the day. I had heard the term Content Security Policy floating around but hadn't really looked into what it was. This talk was a great crash course, straight to the point and very informative, and a talk where the speaker owns up to their own mistakes always goes down well.
