Short, sweet, and to the point. Very well organized and nicely delivered.

Absolutely brilliant talk which cuts to the surprising core of the scalability challenge. Really like how the speaker spent a lot of time on the habitability aspect. Great delivery and a very interesting story.

Very interesting story, really good delivery, with a touch of inspiration. Would love to hear an extended version.

Pretty good "from the trenches" story with a bunch of practical tips.

I liked the demos, but I think that the delivery was somewhat rushed and I feel that the material lacked substance.

This was a really well presented talk. I liked the flow of the narrative, nice explanations of different paradigms, and the main point conveyed by the talk. The talk made me question and reconsider my own view of different paradigms, and OO in particular.

The talk was very successful in showing us how Rust can be useful and just how much it is already used by others. Well delivered and nicely rounded talk.

Th speaker explained the basic concepts of how React works quite well. I came in with a basic knowledge of how-to-use React and came out with a lot of understanding of the inner workings of the library.

I personally think that it was too ambitious to show such a large code example in the amount of time given to the speaker and would recommend a bigger timeslot for the next one.

I have worked with the speaker for a long time in the past and therefore can't comment his presentational style since I have grown accustomed to it.

The presentation was quite fun to watch since it's basically a 25min demo. Sadly, no Node or JS code has actually been covered and it hasn't been explained as to why it's useful, the most the audience sees is a CLT tool that the speaker implemented. And while it's outlined how video processing has been accomplished it's not actually explained how to do it.

On the upper hand, the speaker's presentational style is excellent and the speaker deck outlines the relevant data quite well.

The presentation seemed a bit disjointed to me as if the speaker wasn't really presenting this production case but a simplified example. Though the tools outlined are really useful on their own in my opinion the speaker missed to explain how they work together to solve this problem. And even though containerization was mentioned the talk doesn't cover technologies like Docker swarm or Kubernetis.

I personally disliked the presentation style. The speaker had his back turned to the audience so often that it bugged me. And the slide deck, even though beautifully designed, is quite hard to read. Sometimes the speaker's contact data is in the bottom corner, sometimes the person being quoted, sometimes the name of the application displayed.
