Southeast PHP

Nice to finally have an introduction to Functional programming that actually made sense. Easy to see how I can immediately use this approach to write cleaner, more easily understood code.

Good to see a talk that compares common tasks of different job roles. Enjoyed some of the banter during the conversation but wish there had been some reference information presented at the end.

This is the direction of the future and a truly modern approach to PHP.

If you're unsure of serverless vs containers vs VMs, this is a fantastic talk to educate you on your options.

Enjoyed the walk through of this tutorial!! Nice to get a live step-by-step with code examples.

The talk was full of great insight and humor, and I always enjoy watching Samantha and Graham shitpost each other, but it felt more like a live podcast episode than a keynote. From talking with others who don't know Samantha and Graham (particularly that they're a couple), it seems that there's a bit of confusion over *why* they're co-presenting.

A really great introduction to event sourcing which, until this talk, I thought was basically just an implementation of the observer pattern. I was wrong, but Emily set me straight :)

This was a really great intro to event sourcing. I'm looking forward to the slides being available to investigate the links further. I enjoyed the beginnings of what feels like good war stories especially event sourcing as a potential means to wrangle a legacy code base. I'm intrigued to know some of the gritty details / gotchas -- maybe that's a future talk.

Side note Jose is very bad at the Cracker Barrell Peg Board game and I feel like this subtracts from the validility of his talk.

First speaker pair of the event, the dynamic made the talk conversational & easy to tune into. I liked a lot of the ideas that were presented, would have been nice to have a final slide of take aways to focus things at the end.
