Talk comments
Great talk! Looking forward to the blog post with newer numbers.
As others have said, the speaker was interesting but the subject more or less wasn't. Not such an amazing fit for the conference.
As others have said, a more hands-on/code-oriented section would be nice. Otherwise, good presentation.
Michelle and Matthew had a wonderful slide deck and they were both very enthusiastic about the topic.
The only complaints I have are ones that I don't think they had control over.
The audience was too small to really get involved n the talk the way they had planned.
Also, the small audience they did have really didn't seem to be the right target audience. Most of us were already active community members of various degrees.
Energized, enthusiastic, and just all around pumped up. Cal is infectious! (And I mean that in the *good* way not the diseased way.)
Cal is a powerful speaker and motivational.
It was a fantastic closing to an amazing conference3, couldn't have asked for better.
Great information and Michaelangelo's knowledge of both the direct subject matter and related information was very helpful. I feel like he was very quiet, and at times there was much less energy than I feel the material required to keep people with him. I appreciated that the code slides called out specific lines in larger, bold text for the entire room to see.
This talk had many technical concepts but was easy to follow and understand.
Nice mix of concepts with concrete examples. There was a lot of information condensed into that one talk though, it may have benefited from giving a bit more focus to fewer topics. Was definitely worth attending though and I'll be going back through the slides for reference material.
Well done talk. Had a question or two on the more advanced side (i.e. mocking DB interactions at the query level...it can be done!) that I had to ask later but Chris covered the main points in an engaging fashion.
