Wow, depressing.
I'm certainly going to take a lot from this: Chill, relax, take time off and get shit done.
Great talk, i'll have to find more time to "chill" throughout the day
Very basic assertions, but very true and it's often needed to have these things told again.
+ Cute animals, Jordi knows how to entertain :)
Looked more interesting on paper
I liked this talk very much, not that much focus on code, but instead focusing on some pretty important messages. Also, bonus points for weird birds.

As always, very entertaining. A bit slow pace though - that's something to improve.
Also, some of the menetioned problems are suppose to be actually solved by tools and methodologies that were introduced as buzz words (all-the-DDs). For example, asking "Why?" is at the core of BDD. Desiging code from the perspective of the developer that's gonna use it is easily solved with TDD. I know you wanted to emphasise that we often forget about some crucial aspects of software development, but these techniques should still be mentioned if they actually aim on solving problems being discussed.
Very unprepared, poor content, poor speaking dynamic.
A lot to improve.
Giraffes were awesome!
A lot of things brought during this talk are completely true and already experienced by myself. It was a very good idea to talk about it!
Nothing weird in this tricks, they are just healthy thing, and not only for developers. Great talk, but will gain to be a little more dynamic.
I didn't like this talk at all. I don't understand how a talk like this gets selected from an event of this category. A lot of naive, watered-down self-helping stuff and too much memes to compensate for the lack of rhythm and actual interesting content.
Too abstract, too obvious advice, too slow... I though I was at a technical conf, not a philosophical one. BTW, I though "getting shit done" is why we develop in PHP.
I think it's a good thing that there's room for non-technical talks like this on conferences. This stuff matters.
Nice but a bit slow.
Had high expectation on your talk.
This has probably been a great lightning talk, but during 40 min I got depressed with the speed dynamic and the simple topic.
I really didn't like this talk, I don't understand how a talk like this gets selected from an event of this category: obvious, boring, lack of rhythm...
I can see potential on this talk. Some of the topics are good and makes you think about the world we're in (input overflow, blindly following buzzwords, etc.) but I think it was not properly delivered. A bit more enthusiasm and faster pace could be a good start!
