This talk was very informative and shed a lot of light on many questions I had about how people contribute to PHP. Beyond learning about ways to contribute to PHP outside of C code, thanks to Gabriel's talk I now have links to practical resources for learning how to contribute code to PHP, should I choose to overcome my fear of C ... which could be a while tbh, but I'm glad I'm one step closer now :)

Thoroughly entertaining, thought-provoking and informative. It's a brilliant way to explore challenges we face every day, various ways to deal with them, and possible consequences.

Thought-provoking, Heartwarming, Hilarious, what a magnificent way to end a day of intense learning, reconnecting with old friends, and meeting new amazing people. Damien's talk encapsulates all of these feelings.

Damien is a class-act speaker.

Interesting lecture on the defensive approach, really enjoyed it!

I must say I really enjoyed this lecture! I definitely recognised myself and many people I know through the presentation and it was great to hear that we're not the only ones. I also felt that the lecture was well structured - we went through the symptoms and were given advice on how we can fight these feelings. Very spot on!

Majority of the talk led upto why what we currently have is far from ideal before giving an overview of webauthn. Delivered in a entertaining and informative manner.

As mentioned during the talk the content changed to be less technical based than originally planned. Although an interesting talk it may have been good to strike a balance and touched on some of internals. Granted this is not necessarily an easy task for a slot of 50 minutes.

As well as talking about contributing to the source code of PHP Gabriel also tried to get people to think of other ways they could contribute if they did not have the time or skills required.

Very entertaining light hearted talk to close off the day,

Interesting presentation reminding about good practices. Also good to know about phpstan and php insights.

Great examples and way of leading the presentation. It was technical knowledge with artistic sprincles for me which make it really enjoyable.
