Taming the Resource Tiger

Good insight on what impact some otherwise simple actions/decisions on the developer's end have on the underlying architecture. Nice reference/talk-theme based on physics. The speaker is energetic and full of positive energy, as always. Stay that way, Elizabeth!

Talk about an engaging speaker and a practical perspective on how to write performant PHP applications. Elizabeth gave a very opinionated perspective on the things that a developer needs to plan for when their applications need to interact with external resources such as filesystems or sockets to ensure that the application scales as the data (inevitably) does.

I took a lot of actionable knowledge away from this talk and am excited to start paying more attention to the assumptions that I and others make in our PHP code.
