Comprehensive coverage of the topic.

I think the presenter gave it his best. His passion showed through but, like Atari ET, he would fall into holes of topics related to but not on track to the core subject taking away from the experience of the subject.

I listened but being specialized Symfony I wasn't able to follow the code structure.

Very entertaining and useful keynote to close a great conference with. Cal did an amazing job and was as inspirational as always. Also I'm glad I sat in the second row as he pronounced his acronym quite passionately.

Enjoyed this talk. Really nice overview of the features of Elasticsearch. I think the comparison with SQL was great as it definitely gives a frame of reference when people aren't familiar with a search tool like Elasticsearch. I also appreciate that you went into details about the administration side and how you actually set up your systems. Really useful component of your talk.

Personally I think the section on the ELK Stack might be a little out of place in the talk. There wasn't enough time even in this 1 hour slot to really cover it well so it might be best to leave it for a separate talk and use the time to cover another more complicated query example. Just my opinion though.

I thoroughly enjoyed this refactoring demonstration. Adam had solid reasons and explanations for everything he did. It was even helpful to see the problem arise with the trait causing the inheritance-based solution to fail. Too often refactoring talks make it look like it's always easy. Overall a solid talk.

Very amazing talk, despite the copy/paste error on the schedule and in joind.in with your other talk's description.

I think you covered a lot of really good points in the talk and gave quite a bit of information about the evolution of a solution to a very relevant problem. Personally we are always working on metrics in our systems and apps and it was helpful to see how you evolved your own idea into a working solution at large scale.

This was a fantastic talk. Matt asked me if I would pay close attention and come up with some criticism. I honestly don't have anything worth mentioning. The talk is a solid introduction and in-depth dive into the idea of moving fast and how to leverage existing tools to do that. He managed to make a great case for using minimum viable products to get something out the door and he even mentioned how he uses feedback to validate if the idea is worth investing more time and effort into.

I was particularly impressed with his reasoning behind how Laravel and its ecosystem are his choice for rapid application development and his case is strong.

If you're reading this as you're trying to decide if you should accept this talk, push accept. It's excellent.
