Thank you so much... so informative... excellent ❤❤

Great presentation

Thank you, Monique!!!

Loved this

The sound cut out. What assumes you know math?

Was this Devconf 2024? I attended your talk in CT but the room looked different so was this maybe Sandton or a different year? (So actually I checked the description and saw it was at Emporers Palace).

"We're trying to solve a lot of problems for a lot of people who need a lot of therapy" Most apt quote I ever heard describing software development. Loved the talk!

"It's the sweetie man coming."

Fantastic speaker - even for a recruiter!

what an entertaining talk! WASM is AWESOME!

Never disappoint

our mindshift wont change because AI will take our jobs. your fancy wordplay speech that you generated from ChatGPT will only get you so far before corporations realize they can just do it themselves and they dont need you anymore or make the AI not need inputs anymore. AI was the biggest mistake humankind has made since the Atomic Bomb.

summary: yes it will. blah blah blah about it just being a tool to make you more productive but the real problem is it makes EVERYONE productive so you lose your job security and all the time you spent learning / educating yourself to get ahead. you lose all your value because now joe shmoe off the street could be a random homeless dude is now a programmer....AHEM i mean PROMT ENGINEER...untill he gets fired because now the AI doesnt need input anymore it can do things autonomously.

The LEGENDS themselves!!

I was there in person when he said this , still stuck with me today ....Make more stuff

Lets go Zaka Manager CTO 😁🥳🥳

I know that guy!!! What a LEGEND!!!

This guy is a fraud, I personally worked with Mandela on his team at the defi company and he lost the company a lot of money and ended up getting fired.

Finally got around to watching this talk. Great work Niel and congratulations to the amazing team making VALR a great South African success story both here and beyond our borders!

kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5-9g5yNgtGEmJo how will this work in a micro-service environment? how can I reduce the number of state checks if another microservice can do something else with the table in parallel?

How can we get resources of the session?

Allan you are a legend!

This is great! It's very informative to see Helm and Kubernetes used in this way, it just makes sense.

Great overview of where we are and what our responsibilities and opportunities are!

Thnx @DevConf

"Trying to put out fires" 🤣 - Every consulting firm ever 🤣. Awesome talk, wow. It is great to see this super important message getting out there in such an accessible and approachable fashion!

Chris and his team at Kaleidocode are the example we need in South Africa! It's absolutely amazing to see what REAL change they are making in the community, while building a strong business. If more companies had this passion, we could make a significant dent in the unemployment challenges facing the youth.

Oh nice! This is so neat, I understand a bit more now about where this could be useful. Thank you for making it simple and clear!

Such a nice trip down memory lane, to show us how we got to where we are. And then, out of nowhere, BOOM!! Great tips and tricks to help us make way better and more fluent web applications. Nicely done!

A cheeky live demo!! This is a good introduction to using DataDog as well, nicely done! The Q&A session was quite informative, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Love the honesty and insight into the journey!

This is an AWESOME talk on how to win at software development! I love the fact that we get actionable advice throughout the talk, stellar stuff!

Really appreciate the fact that this talk does not try to enforce any particular pattern, but rather gives you the tools to find what works for your team. Nicely done!

Love it! Embrace the suck, because it's not so bad haha. It's great to see someone else's journey and learn from it, great stuff!

Great talk about remote work and how to make the most of this opportunity to build a strong and inclusive team. Nicely done!

Great stuff - It's a good lesson to learn - analytics for life!!

This is why Dale's the best at what he does, the BEST! Such an awesome talk!!

Pretty cool insights, tips and tricks to level up your software engineering manager game! I love how empowering others leads to you being better at your job!

I'll get to this talk a bit later.

Such a cool talk! And heaps of practical tips and cheats to improve your security culture. Who knew security can also be a bit of fun?

Some interesting statistics and really good tips and tricks to put yourself ahead of the pack!

Wow! This is SO interesting. Not just from a pure technical perspective, but also from a problem-solving and data analysis perspective. Just awesome - I am so impressed with the sheer amount of work and effort that went into this!

Thank you for being open and honest and sharing your story authentically.

This is just at a whole different SKAle than what we mere mortals deal with usually!

I'm so glad that my hubby Dale told me about this talk 🙌 I really enjoyed it & found it very authentic & informative 👏 I'm very interested in psychology & mental health so I'm always looking to educate myself on these topics. It was inspiring to hear Schalk share his story & knowledge from his experiences. Mental health is a topic that we should be continuously shining a spotlight on & talking about, including in the workplace.

And this is why Schalk is the BOSS - real talk from a real guy, talking about the really difficult stuff. We appreciate you man!

Such great tips and information shared here for potential speakers. I hope this encourages many new submissions for next year!
