Talk comments
First time hearing Paul Jones speak, and now I understand why I see his name on so many conference rosters. Paul literally got me thinking about the request-response cycle in a whole new way as he gave the talk.
Poornima is an excellent speaker, her slides were professional, and I enjoyed the story-telling nature of her delivery. Her anecdotal experiences working with start-ups were great learning experiences, and I'm glad she shared them with us. I feel like the biggest take-away for me was how important culture is to a company and how it can make or break the company.
Wow, great talk. I really feel like I got a good tour of Symfony. Clearly it was a toe-dipping, but I think that was the point, and Margaret made Symfony seem less like an imposing edifice of enterprisey befuddlement and more like "hey, here's this amazing tool that's easy to use, and there's great docs and friendly folks to help."
Awesome presentation. Don't forget the list of monitoring tools that you mentioned on your talk.
Great conversation looking forward to the future of how PHP works on the Web. I'm looking forward to helping out with the various initiatives to push this along.
Great overview of the surrounding system elements that constrain performance, including network and I/O capacity, as well as a brief introduction to the N+1 problem. (One suggestion: actually mention the phrase "N+1 problem" when talking about queries inside loops.)
I love Ryan's energy and stage presence. His observations and experiences working on open source projects definitely fed into his tips, and I learned a few take-aways that I will be applying to my projects.
Great presentation
