Great job Chris!
The Kata exercises were very useful.

Great presentation. Glad to learn something I didn't know without having to go through the documentation.

Alright talk. Could have been more developer focused.

Very practicals tips and actions to implement right away in our applications.

I learned what I needed thanks to this tutorial given by Chris. The only thing I can complain about is that we didn't have the time to finish all the examples in the session.

Very practical tutorial with examples. I liked the fact that Chris shared exactly what he does and how he does testing on his day to day.

There were several meaty topics covered and Elizabeth could have gone into more detail on each one. She sure motivate me to look into streams, lazy fetch, generators and the like to manage memory usage and never assume the size of anything. She alluded to other data structures and recommended not using arrays unless they are small (and you checked they're small. Don't assume so.)

Iterating strings is often a necessary but until now a not very exciting task for me. This talk makes we want to go and redo all the string handling code I've written in the past. I've heard reference to spl iterators but have never actually seen anyone at a conference go into detail on using them. Creating an iterable null object is great and something I never would have thought of looking at the docs. I will definitely study the haystack repo to better understand the inner and outer iterable patterns.

Good overview of the process and best engineering practices. Some hints that Kirsten had the technical expertise to delve more deeply into the topics. Would be a good intro to a track with several sessions covering the design, implementation examples (fitbit - good, ??? not-so-good), and finally how to orchestrate multiple requests or requests to multiple sites.

Great knowledge of your talk and slides. You made the technical difficulties amusing anecdotes and managed to teach us some interesting new tools to solve our bug problems! I really liked the points you made about not being able to scale unicorns and felt like the bug taxonomies were a helpful pneumonic for looking at the pattern of the bug and not being stuck in the specifics.
