Talk comments

Fantastic talk - had a blast and learned a lot. While I rated the talk a 5 (because it was so good), I think it can be improved with some examples (or perhaps demos?) of performance improvements before and after the various tweaks. Yeah yeah... benchmarks lie, but since they'd be comparing Nginx against itself with a different configuration, I think there'd be some value.

Definitions matter, and this talk really clarified for me why MVC as we know it today is not useful as a way to describe an architecture. Going to start applying adr principles to my code now that I've grokked it a bit more.

Good, technical, and accurate list of important practices vital to scaling PHP applications. A little too much focus on Heroku specifically for my tastes, but that was expected and it was a great talk overall!

Good talk with a real work example. It would've been nice to see an example mocking a database though.

I am all over that Vagrant box and have already begun planting the upgrade seed at work.

Thanks for another great keynote, Rasmus!

Great talk! I've been a Design Pattern supporter for many years, but never seen it boiled down to the important essentials like you did. Excellent presentation! Could you please post your slides? Thanks!

Really good talk; Kayla was able to use enough real terminology to keep people who are comfortable with math interested and gave the audience a good jumping off point to investigate further.

I imagine once she has more examples and experiences from her project starting this year this talk will be even more useful as a practical example of applying machine learning to a real world problem and how to actually approach the problem.

Overall one of my favourite talks of the conference.

Helpful, it made me convince legacy code is testable :)
