How can documentation become inherently Agile?eBranding Ninja
How can you foster a culture that gets your developers excited about documentation? How can you foster a culture that gets your developers excited about pleasing their customers?
Documentation is still the most important thing developers continually respond as most affecting their decision making. Frankly caring about documentation shows you care about the developer, whether external or internal. Yet, documentation is constantly pushed to the wayside, aligning that idea with Waterfall and top-down development. How do you then foster a culture that gets your developers excited to create documentation? And as an extension, how do you get your developers excited about pleasing their customers?
Start out by automating what you can and then creating a process. Documentation is something that requires discipline. It’s up to your team to identify what interruptions are constantly being pointed to as excuses for not completing the documentation. Then, you can put an investment into your documentation, looking to first solve and reduce those interruptions, making documentation the way you address repeated issues and make your customers more autonomous.
Documentation is actually particularly important to the Scrum process, where "documented" is part of the definition of "Done." Documentation can also be a good team-building exercise as it invites everyone to take ownership of their own piece. It also keeps everyone cognizant of keeping the code itself simple and self-explanatory. And it's especially important for team communication and collaboration as, with microservices, containers and the like, our developers gain autonomy, but there's a struggle to work out loud so you know what everyone else is doing.
Finally, someone should be in charge of managing the documentation -- someone with a tech background but some marketing savviness -- to curate it all, helping to make sure it's there and that it tells a clear story that's easy to search through, but that also supports the overall business proposition.

Artificial Assistants: How can I help you? by Christopher CurrinChristopher Currin
Chatbots are not equal; with different forms permeating our lives more and more. Virtual assistants are increasingly relevant for businesses and our day-to-day lives. Chatbots have become ubiquitous for interactions, yet ‘reasonable’ intelligence remains elusive.
In this talk, we explore and explain their underlying architectures and capabilities to understand what makes them work, their weaknesses, and future improvements.
Design principles from a technology and human perspective will be disseminated with examples of current production systems and their impact. Furthermore, the audience will have the opportunity to advance these best practices.
Resources will be made available, so the technology is relevant, practical, and accessible.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

15. Uhh, we’re not here to talk
about military history….
True: but the lessons of this visualization persist
@undrstndng
16. The Common DNA of Visualizations
All visualizations:
• Are rhetorical acts
Ask deep value questions – what matters? What do we really
care about? How are we going to describe our world?
• Are abstractions
e.g. Histogram buckets
• Work on multiple dimensions
Visual, cognitive, emotional, analytical
@undrstndng
23. Core Principle of Presenting Data
Conversation Based
Your data has a point of
view, and wishes to start a
conversation
Source: https://www.earlymoments.com/dr-seuss/How-to-Use-DrSeuss-Book-Clubs/Advanced-Reader-Books/
@undrstndng
24. Realizing the Conversation Principle
Visualizations should be:
• Clear
• Useful
• Ethical
• Credible
@undrstndng
25. Clear
Can someone describe what your chart is trying to do in 2
sentences using simple words?
Better yet, can two people look at the chart and give the
same basic explanation?
Pick a model based on your information, not vice-versa.
@undrstndng
26. Let’s look at some examples:
Worldwide Nuclear Weapon Detonations
A Real-Time Map of Births and Deaths
@undrstndng
27. Useful
Key data points are visible without relying on interaction
Data is downloadable as a table (assuming interactive
data)
Is applicable/appropriate to your audience and your goals
@undrstndng
28. Let’s look at those examples again:
Worldwide Nuclear Weapons Detonations
A Real-Time Map of Births and Deaths
@undrstndng
29. Ethical
While designing the chart, write down what you are leaving
out and review it.
Identify what narrative you are trying to tell and determine if
what you are leaving out undermines that narrative.
If a story is too complex to tell in a chart, it may not be true.
Change scale, proportions, etc on the chart to identify
possible distortions of the visual data.
@undrstndng
31. Credible
A lot of this is an outcome of doing other things right, but
there are some things you can do make sure you don’t lose
credibility:
• Aesthetic decisions
• Citations
• Proper professional and cultural vernacular for audience
(e.g. physicists vs. engineers, dollar vs. euro, children
vs. adults)
@undrstndng
32. U.S. Crime Rate Trends
Finding: Between 1990 and 2008 there was a forty-five
percent decline in violent crime
Many theories about this:
•
Community policing
•
Improved economic situation
•
“Tough on Crime” and prisons
@undrstndng
33. Credibility problems
Community policing happened after initial decline
Crime continued to drop even in a bad economy
Prison population growth largely made up of nonviolent
offenders

Editor's Notes
Welcome to our talk, Listening to Data. We’re very happy to be part of an event like A2 Data Drive – and talking about such a great topic. Today we will be discussing how to make better visualizations by focusing on being conversation based and data driven.
Hello, my name is Kaarin Hoff – I’m an information architect, or IA for short, at TUG. My background is also quite varied – but visualizations and UM have remained consistent. In undergrad I studied History and Art History, spending a lot of time in archives piecing together information from images and text to get as clear a story as possible. After that, I worked at UM planning orientations from end-to-end -> promotion, registration, ect. That is when I really began to understand the how crucial visualizations are to our everyday life. So many of my meets were disasters – getting so far off track bc a column’s sum wasn’t correct or a website’s purpose wasn’t agreed on because the whole meeting was spent discussing how an image wasn’t aligned correctly. One day someone told me the IA of the site I managed was bad. So I Google “IA” – and shortly there after I applied to grad school bc it sounded so cool that’s what I wanted to do all the time! So I when to SI where I met Dan Klyn by taking his IA course and now I work at his company making useful things out of information and loving it.
B.A., Cognitive ScienceM.S., Evolutionary PsychologyBusiness analyst, online marketing and IA
Everyone here has a different story of how they came to be in this room with their current data need – but the great news is we’ve ALL been working with visualizations our whole lives. Who here has made a bar chart? Knows that a pie chart has nothing to do with Pillsbury dough? Exactly. So whether you know 2 charts or 50 charts, the principles we’re talking about here today applyBecause we live in a world full of data questions. We have all this information and now we need to figure out what to do with it. Visualizations are a tool for putting that data to work for you – in convincing your stakeholders, in explaining the problem, even in suggesting solutions.
The purpose of today’s talk is to provide a core set of principles that transcends best practices. There are no shortage of examples of good and bad visualizations. The trick is choosing the BEST way to visualize your data – so let’s discuss that principles that will allow you to get there.Before we dive in let’s look at some visualizations to think about what they have in common and what they can accomplish
This visualization was made by Minard in 1869. It is the aspirational, unachievable, Mona Lisa of visualizations. Analyzing the best of the best, something that is still regarded as the best 130+ years later can show us some of the core principles of visualizations. Tufte analyzed this visualization in his book, Beautiful Evidence. Documented
Tufte analyzed this visualization in his book, Beautiful Evidence.
Answer the question: Compared to what?That’s 1 out of 42 survival rate
Show explanationWarmest day was 32 degreesMinard doesn’t say “the cold killed them” – but the evidence being presented together like this declares the relation. We humans make associations when things are placed next to each other like this. Minard used this wisely, since he had many legitimate first- hand accounts of soldiers freezing to death.
6 variables here : size of army, geographical location, direction of movement (invading & retreating), temperature, timeIf you evidence is numerical and geographical, that’s ok. Combine them to tell the story. Don’t be feel limited to a certain type of visualization, like a line chart, and miss out on telling your whole story. Be true to your data
Visual can be deep to add evidence – text, images Make your main point right away, but you can give you audience more to digest in they lingerLike a painting…
Minard’s visualization has stood the test of time and is so revered because of the rigorous documentation attached to it. Everything is proved that he represents here. So no you don’t need to go to the library archives, but do include or refer to where your data is from. Do include a ledged if necessary.
Minard was a soldier telling soldier stories, exposing the cost of war. Tufte said it best so I’ll read this “That the word ‘Napoleon’ does not appear on the map of Napoleon’s march indicates here at least full attention is to be given to memorializing the dead soldiers rather than celebrating the surviving celebrity.”
subway - Rhetoric - Sequence trumps location Abstraction - location eliminated Multi-D punch - yin/yang, the power of a loop or line
What the system would look like with geography…
Army - Rhetoric - War is suffering? don’t invade Russia? Abstraction - Described in the narrative Multi-D punch - Temperature, location, time, death
Bell curve - Rhetoric - THIS IS HOW THE WORLD WORKS Abstraction - sample size, histogram bucket size, “p<.05” Multi-D punch - pattern matching, storytelling, profiling----- Meeting Notes (11/8/13 14:00) -----Don't mention histogram
----- Meeting Notes (11/8/13 14:00) -----We've looked at some reasons that visualiztions work and we've described the common DNA of visualizations.
Visualizations as conversation centerpiece - sometimes with people in the room, sometimes with people you will never see - must consider your data, your goal, your audience to pick the right visualizationClearUsefulEthicalCredible
Pick a model based on your information, not viceversaCan someone describe what your chart is trying to do in about two sentences using simple words.Better yet, can two people look at the chart and give the same basic explanation.
