Talk comments
Touching almost all important aspects.
Great info! Live demos always give some quirks, but hey, that's the beauty of them, right?
Maybe allowing a bit more hardware for the virtual machine would improve that part, the rest was very good.
Took further some of my own ideas on the topic, which I'm incorporating into my PhD AI-based product.
Good coverage of important info.
Stacked together a lot of useful info in a short amount of time.
Even if it was different from a traditional keynote, I found this very interesting.
Great session.
I highly enjoyed this talk. I've been a big fan of collections for about a year or so and Adam does a good job exploring some common patterns seen in code and ways to solve it with a collection and cleanness of the approach.
On a personal note, I took a minute or two to speak with Adam about an issue and he both took the time to consider the problem and come up with a solution after our conversation. What more could you ask for from a speaker?
The one thing I'll note as a negative is there could have been more examination of the why to use Collections and various tooling around it. Simply eliminating loops, ifs and temp variables is not necessarily a succinct reason for everyone. It's also hard to express the idea that concepts we've used for our entire career may not be the correct solution. Perhaps pointing out how the cyclomatic complexity is lower, or similar might be helpful?
This was interesting and certainly made me understand some of the reasons behind why Laravel specifically is popular.
Really enjoyed this, it was both well-structured and well-delivered.
