ZgPHP meetup #86 2018/10

This was a nice little update to the status of Marjan's project that everyone seems to be excited about.
Since this was the last lighting talk and everyone was clearly tired already, so things didn't go as smooth as usual with Marjan.

Turning the medal, punching holes, nitpicking, and drawing attention to not at first obvious things is what Zoka does.

All in 5 minutes. Putting Zoka and Miro together to do a talk on this topic and cover various edge and use cases would be very interesting.

Very interesting lightning talk presenting basic idea and concepts of the FW.

Would love to hear and see a more thorough demo with real examples.

Miro explained the concepts of migrations and data fixtures in the context of database schema, and showed by practical examples when and how to use them by utilizing Doctrine.

Despite few technical problems, everything went smooth, showing he invested a serious amount of time and effort to present everything as a coherent whole with a flow.

Miro has mastered his presentation skills, because I have seen him give numerous talks without worrying about the timer, and always wrapping things up on the minute.

This talk sparked quite a discussion with a fair amount of people having very similar questions, mostly about using Faker or similar libraries for generating dummy data.

IMO this is one of the things that could be included in the talk, explaining pros and cons of using such libraries and when.

There was a mention of dependent fixtures, in addition to ordered ones, but no examples were given. This too is something I think could be introduced and explained a bit better.

There were some issues with the mic and Miro could have held it closer to this mouth for a better sound.

Great idea and brilliant underlying solution. I look forward to help with JS part of the project! :)

This would be a great panel discussion. Zoka presented some different ideas from Miros talk and I have a feeling that most of us agree with some part of it and that there could be a great discussion around this. Zoka actually presented some things the rest of us talked about outside, so kudos for that! :)

This seems like a cool project, I am interested in how it would actually behave on top of some concrete project. The talk was a pitch of a sort and that is cool, but I would like to see it in action and I would like to get what are some actual problems that you will encounter while using it. Anyhow, great work :)

Presenter was good, but I expected a lot more technical details for the product. I didn't like the lack of proper arguments why we should use this product instead of WordPress, only that WordPress is s**t, with what I would disagree (yes, it has an ugly core, but so does every other framework as well, but they don't have a quarter of the web running on it :) ).

I would like to see concrete benefits of this product in comparison with WordPress and plain frameworks for both developers and users and it feels like a great way to improve this talk a lot :)

Really useful information (even though we use this almost every day).

I like the concept of constant fixture data (and reasons why not to use Faker for development fixtures).

4/5 just because the theme was a little rough, but it will be perfect within next few iterations. :)

I already know that but think that this is very useful. When you have a mic in your hands, please put it closer to the mouth :)
