FIVE years at Vercel today. As anyone who has worked here will tell you, those 5, feel like 10! Some highlights: - Built the docs team from the ground up - Oversaw too many IA and design iterations to count on one hand for the Vercel docs - ITG (Another one is coming!) - Learned about and dove into AEO/Agent Readability and how we can shape our content for both agents and humans - Built our internal user feedback pipeline and tracking - Built many internal tools (AEO, Evals, Feedback, and more!) - Had my fingers in many pies that are our educational content and sites - Managed and learned from some of the best people in the industry (You know who you are! And I love you all) - Grown as a manager, developer, and person - Still can't play anything decent on guitar beyond Oasis

Big one for not knowing how to plan next summer with registration for glasto and oasis

I love that everyone is all of a sudden massive Oasis fans. They are amazing, and have been my fav band for near on 30 years. But I think the main reason youngsters have started loving them isn’t cos of how good they are, it’s more about the fact that there are no bands anymore.

I built a knowledge graph over our whole content estate. It’s an SQLite DB that refreshes nightly, and takes in all our docs sites (OSS inc) KB, blog, changelog etc We serve it through multiple entry points to give agents full and surrounding context around each product/features docs page, including semantically similar, and outbound and inbound links. This gives agents the full spectrum as opposed to the single doc to understand where this “thing” fits in within the Vercel ecosystem. Instead of relying on in page links only, the agent can source surrounding context too, without guessing. You can find the root graph at vercel.com/docs/graph.json , the per page graph at e.g vercel.com/docs/functions.gr… , a compact version in the docs pages markdown mirror vercel.com/docs/functions.md , and in the HTML in a collapse at the bottom of each page. I’m still tracking requests, but early data looks promising. Will share more once we have had a month in production!

I’ve not seen one person ever tuck their shirt in like this. Except from when were were about 9 and going into high school

I haven’t seen one codebase linked with all these tweets claiming Astra made some sick video game, or 3D model of Ancient Rome, or replications of a popular movie…. Grifters gonna grift

Who would have thunk it? Server render pages. Include all relevant info in the HTML, mirror with markdown, and get your negotiation strategy right. Lots of ideas are floating around right now, it's the wild west of engine optimizations... But the classics still remain the bedrock of human and agent understanding. Serve what you want for agents, to humans, and make it available without JS.
