Talk comments

I'm not a programmer, and this was quite a bit to take in but I liked the slides. :)

Awesome talk. I'll have to watch it again.

great talk, will be reviewing it again

this guy is a beast

only if you were southerner

Good talk. Somewhat intense topic and went over a very broad array of solutions quickly. There were many good takeaways and notes to dig in and do some further research on though. It's great that the slides are available and they easily link to the github code so that attendees can really dig into making sense of the presentation.


I would have liked to see more of a deep dive into more detailed complete examples, but I understand that this talk was meant to be a broad introduction of multiple methods and that we could never go too deep into all of the solutions discussed.

Incredible presentation. I've heard about "Big Data" for quite some time, and I've built data aggregation systems in the past, but this made that look like an erector set sitting next to the empire state building. This is a very detailed presentation on all the layers needed to successfully deal with large amounts of data in a useful well. Very well done.

+ A lot of stuffs mentioned
+ clear, readable code
+ Slides were nicely put up

- I would appreciate if you could talk less fast, would give us time to absord what you are saying and relating to the code samples..etc

Cheers!

Very interesting talk, never thought it could be such an interesting topic. I don't know why, but I kept mentally applying the info to collecting data from a droid army, but I suppose it could be from a delivery fleet or distributed mobile app, etc. Excellent job.

It was a great talk but since we only saw the slides and NOT the speaker himself, a slower pase is needed to comprehend everything that is said. I felt like I couldn't keep up and it's a shame for such an awesome intriguing topic. The talk should have been adjusted more to the format where it was given.

Otherwise: Awesome talk, great subject, I'll be sure to watch the video later to catch up on the parts I missed :)

An absolutely awesome talk! Went nice and low level, and really showed some awesome things that are possible in a large scale application. The pace was quick, but the information given was incredible...

If I had to give one criticism (a very minor one), the talk could have used a slight bit of higher level "glue". At times the low level bits felt a little disconnected, and some high level context may have made it feel a little more fluid. Again, this is very minor, as in the vast majority of the times during the talk, the flow was really great...

Would love to see this talk again...
