Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago reposted thisHow the hell does nobody talk about technical writing?! My colleague Tobias Latta does! After a technical writing workshop for developers at Google Hamburg organized by Noémie Dao and Patrick Haller and led by the fantastic Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago, he said „Birgit, prepare for plenty of coffees with me in the future.“ He‘s definitely left with positive vibes. Dear #docs community and technical writers, join me in cheering for him! This is gold! cc Katja, Ann-CathrinJose Luis Zapata De Santiago reposted thisit’s like describing a dog to someone who has never seen a dog, and then asking them to draw it What's the connection between the Backrooms and Tech Writing? Last tuesday, this unexpected question was answered when I found myself in an exclusive TechWriting 101 session by Google for OTTO. After this, there was only one question left in my mind: How the hell is nobody talking about Tech Writing? This discipline combines: - Learning how to clearly communicate - The ability to understand given CONTEXT as fast as possible - Reduce information to the minimal viable amount for easy maintenance That should ring a bell. It's exactly what we need in the age of AI: - Clear communication as the base for a good interaction with LLMs (either prompting or SKILL engineering) - Fast understanding of AI output being more important than coding - Efficient input = saving tokens = saving money Another movie reference coming in - The Arrival: Amy Adams learns an alien language. This gives her a new range of thinking, of emotions. I don't want to exagerate but the gist is this: If you know how to write clearly, you will also think and work more clearly. Tech companies should invest more in Tech Writing. With LLMs we won't be coding. We will be writing. A lot. <credits rolling> Thanks Noémie Dao, Patrick Haller, Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago and Google for having us. Thank you Birgit B. for pushing TechWriting at OTTO and being such a huge motivator and lighthouse✊. <after credit scene> For all Hamburg OTTOnians: beware of the campus, we do have liminal spaces here...

Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago shared thisI just ran my first external Technical Writing workshop, hosting 24 developers from OTTO Group at the Google Hamburg office. And I'm really happy. We went over the basics like active voice, sentence length, and other good practices. But the real highlight was the pushback. The group brought up messy, real-world edge cases. We got into actual debates about when it makes sense to break writing rules, and traded notes on how they're using Claude and Copilot for docs right now. Thanks to Noémie Dao for pulling this together, and Patrick Haller and Boris Bugarski for running the ground game. Also thanks Tobias Latta for organizing and Birgit B. and Christina Framke for being there representing the OTTO Technical Writing team, answering questions and sharing their experience with me before the workshop. It’s easy to get stuck in our internal Google bubble. Talking to external teams about how they actually document their code is a great reality check.

Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago reposted thisJose Luis Zapata De Santiago reposted thisFiguring out AI's impact on tech writing takes more than just solo research. Real progress happens when you debate the evolving role of documentation face-to-face with the people driving the change. The recent Write the Docs meetup at JetBrains provided exactly that. Huge thanks to Lisa Driukova for creating a space where these crucial conversations could happen. A major highlight was chatting with Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago. Seeing how a company leading AI development actually handles technical writing gave me practical approaches and completely sharpened my vision for the future of our role. I was also happy to present my talk, "Challenging documentation best practices in the age of AI." But being on stage was just a fraction of the value. The real breakthroughs happened in the discussions afterward. Thank you to everyone who asked tough questions and engaged in challenging conversations. You helped me refine my own ideas and I learned a ton from you. Thanks to everyone for the massive boost to my productivity and job security ❤️ P.S. Sharing my tech writing skills repo today. Apologies for the delay; I needed to sanitize it for confidentiality. Ping me in DMs if you have not yet received the link from me.

Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisJose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisNew video 🎉 I've mentioned Modern Web Guidance once or twice here 👀 AI coding agents write code the common way, not the best way. And, they don't know about recent web platform changes. That's the gap Modern Web Guidance closes, and we've just launched a video series showing some of the individual guides 🎉 Creating these videos has been a journeyyy, so I'd love to hear what you think. All feedback welcome 😀 Link in the first comment 👇

Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisThis is one of my favourite projects. It's just there working to help you work better. Awesome video by Tara Ojo AgyemangJose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisSee how Modern Web Guidance helps coding agents ship smoother web UI → goo.gle/mwg Building dynamic touch gestures like swipe-to-remove often causes coding agents to generate overly complex JavaScript, leading to janky animations. Modern Web Guidance solves this by providing your agent with structured, up-to-date implementation guides. Once you invoke MWG, your agent searches the guide database to reference Baseline features like scroll snap, intersection observer, and web animations API. It even supplies proper fallbacks for newly available features so your app works reliably across major browsers.

Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisJose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisOne of my first real jobs was at Moodle, working for Martin Dougiamas. That's where I learned how to use Git, how to use Jira, and why testing matters. Moodle is open source, and it supports an entire world of teachers and students - and because it's open source, anyone can make it better. 私が初めて本格的に働いた職場のひとつがMoodleでした。Gitの使い方、Jiraの使い方、そしてテストの重要さを学んだのはそこでした。Moodleはオープンソースで、世界中の先生と学生を支えています。そしてオープンソースだからこそ、誰でもより良くすることができます。 Today I've decided to make it work a little better for Japanese users. 今日は、日本のユーザーにとってMoodleをもう少し使いやすくすることにしました。 Here's the problem. Every course in Moodle has a participants page, and at the top of it sits an A–Z bar for jumping to students by the initial of their first or last name. On a Japanese site, those names are stored in kanji, so the bar compares "A", "B", "C" against 佐藤 and 田中 and finds nobody. Every button returns an empty list - well, except for the last button, which shows a list with everyone in it. 問題はこうです。Moodleのすべてのコースには��加者ページがあり、その上部には姓や名の頭文字で学生を探せるA〜Zのバーがあります。ところが日本のサイトでは氏名が漢字で登録されているため、このバーは「A」「B」「C」を佐藤や田中と照合して、誰も見つけられません。どのボタンを押しても空のリストが返ってきます……と思いきや、最後のボタンだけは全員が表示されます。 Even if the bar showed kana instead, it couldn't work off kanji alone, because you can't reliably get the reading from the characters: 東海林 is usually Shōji, and the same surname can be read several ways. Japanese class rosters are ordered by reading (あいうえお順), and that's how teachers expect to find a student. かな表示にしたとしても、漢字だけでは機能しません。漢字から読みを確実に導くことはできないからです。東海林は多くの場合「しょうじ」と読みますし、同じ名字でも読み方が複数あることは珍しくありません。日本のクラス名簿は読みの順(あいうえお順)に並んでおり、先生もその順で学生を探すのが当たり前です。 Back when I was at HQ, fixing this would have meant patching core, and patched core is the thing every admin dreads at upgrade time. 私がHQにいた頃、これを直すにはコアにパッチを当てるしかありませんでした。そしてコアへのパッチは、アップグレードのたびに管理者が一番恐れるものです。 Since I left, Moodle has rebuilt the participants page as a dynamic table and added hooks that let a plugin plug into a page without touching core. Those two changes make a clean fix possible: my plugin subclasses the participants table and registers a footer hook, and core stays untouched. 私が離れてから、Moodleは参加者ページをダイナミックテーブルとして作り直し、コアに手を加えずにプラグインがページに入り込めるフックを追加しました。この二つの変更のおかげで、きれいな解決が可能になりました。私のプラグインは参加者テーブルをサブクラス化してフッターフックを登録するだけで、コアには一切触れません。 What you get is a 五十音 bar (あかさたなはまやらわ, hiragana and katakana, plus A–Z for romaji readings) with separate 姓 and 名 rows and a 他 bucket for anyone without a reading, so nobody drops out of the list. It only offers readings the viewer is already allowed to see, and it works with screen readers. Moodle 4.5–5.2, free. できあがったのは五十音バーです(あかさたなはまやらわ、ひらがな・カタカナ対応、ローマ字の読みにはA〜Z)。姓と名の行が分かれていて、読みが登録されていない人は「他」にまとめられるので、誰もリストから漏れません。閲覧者がもともと見る権限を持っている読みだけを対象にし、スクリーンリーダーにも対応しています。Moodle 4.5〜5.2対応、無料です。 If you run Moodle at a Japanese school or university, give it a try: 日本の学校や大学でMoodleを運用されている方、ぜひ試してみてください https://lnkd.in/ebrh6-Xx https://lnkd.in/e4bNU8aX Adrian Greeve Simey Lameze Zac Durber Dave Cooper

Jose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisJose Luis Zapata De Santiago reacted on thisI’ve been experimenting with Jev and WebMCP 😁 Jev is not meant to generate text. It makes structured decisions. So, of course, I wanted to see how far it could go with WebMCP tool calling. I built a small Chrome extension where: 1️⃣ Jev decides which tool should run next. 2️⃣ Jev fills every enumerable parameter. 3️⃣ If the same tool also needs free text, a number or another non-enumerable value, an LLM fills only what is left. The interesting part is that this can happen inside the same tool call. In the video, the WebMCP Maze stays entirely on the Jev path - no LLM help needed. The hotel demo needs an LLM, but Jev still fills the inputs it can choose from a known list. Two main takeaways: ⭐ The input schema can influence which model fills each value. ⭐ With fully enumerable tools, we know every possible input combination in advance. If there are not too many, we can test all of them without using a model. This pattern is not unique to Jev. It could work with any structured decision model that selects from choices defined by the tool schemas. What's also interesting is that based on the confidence score given by Jev we can make decisions in harness - if Jev is 97% sure we might trigger the tool - but if the confidence is, let's say, 60% we might want to do additional checks! 💡 It is a small experiment for now, but I think there is something here 🤔.

Synchronization in Time-Varying and Evolving Complex Networks
Mathematics 2020
See publicationthis contribution, we present the synchronization in dynamical complex networks with varying couplings. We identify two kinds of variations—(i) Non autonomous (Time-varying) couplings: where the coupling strength depends exclusively on time, (ii) Autonomous or Varying couplings (evolution) where the coupling strength depends on the behavior of the interconnected systems. The coupling strength in (i) is exogenous whereas in (ii) the coupling strength is endogenous and is defined by the states of…
this contribution, we present the synchronization in dynamical complex networks with varying couplings. We identify two kinds of variations—(i) Non autonomous (Time-varying) couplings: where the coupling strength depends exclusively on time, (ii) Autonomous or Varying couplings (evolution) where the coupling strength depends on the behavior of the interconnected systems. The coupling strength in (i) is exogenous whereas in (ii) the coupling strength is endogenous and is defined by the states of the systems in the nodes. The exponential stability of the synchronization is ensured for the non autonomous couplings, due to the imposition of the coupling strength. Whereas, in the case of evolutionary couplings the exponential stability of the synchronization is not guaranteed for all time, due to the couplings are not controlled or imposed. We present an overview of these features in complex networks and illustrated by means of numerical examples.

Synchronization of complex networks with negative couplings
PHYSCON 2013
In this contribution the synchronization of complex networks with some negative couplings is presented.
Generally, a fundamental condition for stability and synchronization of complex networks is that the off diagonal elements in the connectivity matrix are non negative.
The aim of this contribution is to show by means of a numerical example that the non-negativity of such elements is not a necessary condition for stability of the synchronized regime.Other authors
