Talk comments
He warned us it'd be depressing but it was fantastic! Really engaging and very well produced with a lot to take away.
Matt provided great humor and brought life to content security policies. By going through his demos the way he did, it showed how we'd often break it before we get it right!
Really useful information with great resources to help us integrate such policies in our projects.
Christian provided just the right amount to get me excited about using ReactPHP, looking forward to trying it out!
Demos were great, showing real-life practical applications for using it in production (and when to not).
Really enjoyed this talk which was an excellent start to the day.
As somebody who's not looked much into AI, it provided a great base. I only wish he didn't have to rush near the end when things were getting really interesting!
After reading the feedback here I was quite surprised that people feel that the last part of the talk was too political. The title of the talk is "Creating space to be Awesome". Which I think the last part of the talk was actually the key part of doing this. Especially in an industry that claims they want to be more inclusive and nearly every company is trying to figure out how to increase their diversity. How do people think this is going to happen if we don't talk a look at the current situation and look to improve it and see where we're going wrong. If your space is only allowing certain creed of people to be awesome, are you doing it right?
I found it odd that some people find it insulting that Micro-Aggression got explained. I personally didn't actually know what a micro-aggression was other than hearing people mock people for claiming that they were micro-aggressed upon. I guess it's part of the unconscious basis thing which there seems to be more research coming out upon.
Also I for one found the level of colloquial language quite refreshing. Being from the UK, it made it for myself a lot more friendly and relaxed instead of very formal and lecturey.
Really great - showed what React can do without just being the typical HTTP server demo. Lots of applications of event loops that I hadn't considered.
Engaging speaker and some good content, especially as he offered to step in last minute.
Form the early description I could have done with less 'persuading people to have code reviews' and more focus on specific good practices - what was there was great.
Really great to have such real-world experience being shared
Lots of content and I left with _lots_ of things to google and find out more about
Great delivery of a concept I'm not very familiar with, but now want to give a go!
