Talk comments
Great content, lots of fundamental principles for software engineering as a team.
Speaker had a lot of enthusiasm, but overall, I found the talk suffered the "bite off more than you can chew" syndrom.
Bad code, TDD, code duplication, S (without OLID), composer, PHPUnit, refactoring: a lot of different topics, all interesting, but in a too short amount of time. Especially after spending half of the slide/time on the intro.
Really useful intro into the what and why of virtPHP. Excellent presentation style. Very calm and easy to listen to.
Gemma is a lively speaker and understands her material very well. I can't think of a whole lot of feedback as I didn't see much that I didn't like. The content was well organized and at the correct level of detail for the talk length and audience. Well done!
Interesting high level talk.
Great intro to hack with some really good examples. Also some really good reason why one should consider it.
Excellent talk. Learned some neat ways to make code more testable without necessarily chaning the code in its entirety. Excellent.
Awesome talk! Very funny and well spoken! Thought you could slow down on your talking slightly, especially for those whom English is not a first language.

This was a great talk! Presents empathy as a beneficial professional skill, with evocative data and clearly defined techniques for improving understanding, decision making, and outcomes.
