Presentation skills require preparation, structure, and delivery. Preparation includes understanding the audience and their needs, structuring content logically, and anticipating questions. An effective presentation has an attention-getting beginning, logical sequencing of ideas in the middle, and a concluding summary highlighting key points. Delivery involves being active, using vocal and physical variations, speaking naturally while addressing the audience directly. Handling questions, using visual aids appropriately, and adapting to audience feedback also contribute to successful presentations. Preparation, channeling nerves positively, and interacting with the audience are keys to developing strong presentation skills.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

General principles of content strategy
- 1. General principles Shelly Sommer Information & Outreach Director Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research University of Colorado Boulder shelly.sommer@colorado.edu of content strategy
- 2. Why a strategy for content? • Better experience for your users. • Easier to create and manage content. • Helps you work with constraints. • Gets all your content to work together. • Support for making the hard calls.
- 3. Foundations AUDIENCE Know who they are IDENTITY Know yourself MESSAGING Know what you want to say
- 6. Tools Voice and tone guide • This, not that • Show positive and negative examples • Mailchimp guide voiceandtone.com
- 7. Tactics Writing for the web • Make it useful and useable for your readers – Say what you need to say, then stop – Speak in human – Help your reader understand where they are • Put most important stuff first • Break content into easily skimmed bits • Useful, consistent subheads • Descriptive links
- 8. Tactics Using images • Images are like words – you should have a reason for using them • Tell a story (don’t illustrate a manual)
- 9. Tactics Working with your templates • Go for CRAP design – Contrast – Repetition – Alignment – Proximity • If you see a summary field, use it
Editor's Notes
- What you wind up with is better for your users, for yourself, and for your organization.
- List what you have, and see how well our existing content expresses your audience, identity, and messaging.
- Helps you speak to your audiences in ways that they care about, demonstrates your identity, and makes sure you’re getting your message across.Create content around important dates in your calendar and present balanced coverage of your organization.
- - Respect your reader’s time – they shouldn’t have to hunt for the point - Help people scan and skim - Help people understand where they’re going next – also helps people with screen readers. Please never type “click here for more information” again.
- National Geographic is the best at using images. Their reporting is glorious, but if all you do is look at the pictures and maybe read a caption or two, you still get the gist of the story. Do that.
- Your web templates can help people scan your content quickly and decide what they want to delve into. Use them, don’t fight them.There’s a quote on my wall that says “good design is a form of kindness.” Be kind to your users – help them do or understand what they want to do or understand – and they will come back to you.
