I heard about Gaurav is an awesome speaker. Now I experienced it

I really liked Harshita's talk. She spoke clearly and explained everything very well.

Mohit has explained the topic fantastically. It is true not only for a new company but for new teams in an organisation.

It was indeed a great experience hearing from the author of such a widely renowned tooling(curl), Daniel. I really enjoyed his way of speaking and the content was awesome. Also, his viewpoints regarding OSS was striking enough.

It was a great talk by Saurabh, talking about the challenges about deployments and moving onto the world of Docker and Kubernetes. Thanks a lot Saurabh.

I loved the way Byron presented his talk with so simple user experience yet so involved technological implementation.
