    Opening Keynote > Chaos Engineering 101 and Best Practices
    By Ido Ben David Senior Engagement Manager @ CloudIL

    CloudIL is an Israeli-based venture founded by one of the leading tech companies in Europe - in collaboration with local partners. The mission of CloudIL is to deliver a high-performing cloud platform comparable to global hyperscalers in quality, and with unprecedented levels of security for full compliance with local laws and requirements for data privacy, access, and control.

    Chaos engineering in cloud environments by chatGPT:
    Chaos engineering is the practice of intentionally introducing controlled failures or disruptions into a distributed complex system to test resilience and durability. The use of cloud-based infrastructure allows for greater scalability and flexibility when conducting chaos experiments, as resources can be easily provisioned and terminated as needed. Advanced Cloud providers often offer built-in tools and services to aid in chaos engineering, such as the ability to spin up and down entire regions or availability zones.

    PySnooper: Never Use Print for Debugging Again
    By Ram Rachum ML Researcher @ Bar-Ilan University

    I had an idea for a debugging solution for Python that doesn't require complicated configuration like PyCharm. I released PySnooper as a cute little open-source project that does that, and to my surprise, it became a huge hit overnight, hitting the top of Hacker News, r/python and GitHub trending. In this talk I'll go into:

    * How PySnooper can help you debug your code.
    * How to make your open-source project go viral.
    * What kind of things happen when your open-source project becomes popular, and how to deal with them.

    I'm a software engineer turned ML researcher. In my software engineer hat, I've worked in web backend, infrastructure, devops, virtualization, and more. Over the last 12 years I've been an activist in the Python open-source community. I authored popular projects like PySnooper and PythonTurtle, and contributed to existing projects like CPython, Django, PyPy, Matplotlib, PyLint and more. I'm a PSF Fellow.

    I'm currently working on research in Bar-Ilan University, with the goal of showing that multi-agent reinforcement learning can be used to achieve AI Safety.

    Keynote > Beyond the Spaghetti Code - How to Hack Your Mind
    By Danna Nave Consciousness Developer @ Danna Nave

    Let's examine the model that our brain is a computer. What is our operating system? Did we write it or someone else?

    In the first part, we'll explore the Brain-Hardware model, and the Battery management model. We'll reveal that most of the time our mind is managed by code we didn't writeand is not relevant to who we are today (Spaghetti code). In the second part, we'll discover practical tools how to hack our minds and how to go “beyond The Spaghetti code”. These tools will allow us to write our own code and release a new version of ourselves: YOU 2.0

    Danna Nave is a Consciousness Developer. She is helping people to gain a new perspective on their lives through lectures, counseling, and mentoring. For the past decade, Danna worked at a software company, as a Director of HR and Operations and was part of the Management team. Danna "translated" issues of awareness and management soft skills into a language suitable for developers.

    Uncover the Magic: An Intro to Rendering With Procedurally Generated Shaders
    By Sagie Levy Research Engineer @ Lightricks

    Abstract: Cool effects and visuals which are computed on the fly are all around us in apps and websites, but did you ever consider how they are written?
    We’ll explore how to write a shader to render a simple effect and I’ll show you exactly how to do it live. The principles we’ll go over can easily be applied to a variety of effects for your own app or website.

    Speaker: Hi, I’m Sagie. Since the age of 18 I’ve been passionate about coding. I served in the Ofek unit as a programmer and now I’m a Research Engineer at Lightricks for the past 3.5 years. I specialize in computer graphics and have been involved in developing well known mobile apps. Outside of work, I enjoy visual coding, game development, and photography.

    • Eliran Bivas, AppsFlyer
    • Natali Cutic, DevOps Consultant @ Sela

    Modern CI/CD pipelines are driving businesses but also endlessly convoluted and sophisticated. Modern DevoOs has shown that "throwing it over the wall" fails miserably. What does platform engineering offer to rectify this trend? How do BuildsOps rectify some of these bottlenecks? How can organizations develop a shared platform to improve their developer experience and productivity across the organization by providing self-service capabilities with automated infrastructure operations?

    Join our amazing panel to hear thought leaders tell it as it is from the trenches.

    Keynote > From Execution to Innovation
    By Aviv Ben-Yosef Tech Executive Consultant

    I’ve been helping tech companies from Israel, the United States, and Europe successfully tackle their most significant challenges–even on the first try. I help R&D teams triple Impact-per-engineer and transition from cost-centers to innovation-centers.

    Aviv was part of the founding team at BillGuard, a personal finance security and productivity company, and worked on everything from setting up the first production server manually to the server-side, algorithms, web development etc. that were needed as time progressed. He had full stack responsibility and was helping create a culture of high quality clean code, teaching colleagues to test drive and pair program.

    Panel > Monolith, Kubernetes or Serverless. Which One Should We Choose?

    SHAI ALMOGIdo Ben DavidNir SagivAMIR BELGISHAI YALLIN

    Moderator: Shai Almog, Developer Advocate @ debugagent.com

    Speakers:

    • Ido Ben David, Senior Engagement Manager @ Cloud IL
    • Nir Sagiv, Director of Software Architecture @ Applied Materials
    • Amir Belgi, R&D Group Leader @ Varonis
    • Shai Yallin, Software Gardener @ Shai Yallin

    Most organizations will have more than one team and one piece of software in deployment. What works for a single team or multiple isolated teams should not dictate the rationale for the entire organization. If you have multiple teams/applications/services, moving to Serverless or Kubernetes will start to make sense for a number of factors.

    Monolith, Kubernetes or Serverless. Which One Should We Choose? Well, it depends, on a number of factor! For example: costs, vendor neutrality, scale, reliability, visibility. We will try to address all this in our panel discussion.

    Keynote > Finding Your Team's North Star
    By Dennis Nerush R&D Director @ HiredScore

    Many companies have a vision, mission statement, and values, however most often they exist as slogans that are too broad and disconnected from the actual teams within the company. Teams that write down and establish the vision for their team and their core values boost their motivation and sense of accomplishment as it aligns everyone on the expected behaviors and their purpose.

    In this session, I'll share why I believe that it’s important for every team to define how they contribute to the company vision and align with their specific team values. In addition, I'll share my story of how did we come up with them in my group.

    The Voice Message That Changed My Life: The Story of Amnon the Transcriber
    By Shilo Magen Engineering Manager @ Wix.com

    I can't listen to WhatsApp voice notes during the day so I wrote a WhatsApp bot that solves it for me. Apparently, there are also hundreds of thousands of people around the world who can no longer listen to voice notes because of this solution.

    This talk will take you through the journey of how the bot was created, its virality, the good and the bad decisions along the way, and what I learned from it.

    Artificial intelligence is the biggest buzzword these days and it is affecting every industry in the world. People are exposed to AI in both their everyday and professional lives more and more every day. In recent weeks, generative AI tools like DALL·E 2, Chat GPT and Midjourney have become more popular than ever.

    Software development is one of the biggest beneficiaries of AI technologies, as almost every process could be improvised with the implementation of AI. Software developers already use AI to plan and schedule projects, automate testing, code compilation, decision making, and more tasks.

    In this panel discussion we will uncover some amazing opportunities that AI can offer software developers. We will also discuss the threats and challenges and take a look into the future of software development.

    Code at the Crossroads: Managing the Intersection of Codebase and Design Systems at Scale
    By Tom Nipravsky CEO & Co-Founder @ Drimz

    The product development space faces significant challenges.

    In the eye of this storm, developers are forced to maneuver the complexities of managing design systems - a tricky puzzle that challenges many developers every day. They must ensure that the design meets the standards of managers and product designers, while also managing large-scale UI components on their codebase, ensuring accessibility, optimizing performance, - and simultaneously delivering a smooth and accurate user experience.

    In this session I will provide mental models, and unveil fresh new tools and communication methods - to help developers manage design systems at volume, that align with our temperament and passion. A great resource for whoever wants to increase their skills and knowledge in managing design systems at scale.

    Keynote > From Execution to Innovation
    By Aviv Ben-Yosef Tech Executive Consultant

    I’ve been helping tech companies from Israel, the United States, and Europe successfully tackle their most significant challenges–even on the first try. I help R&D teams triple Impact-per-engineer and transition from cost-centers to innovation-centers.

    Aviv was part of the founding team at BillGuard, a personal finance security and productivity company, and worked on everything from setting up the first production server manually to the server-side, algorithms, web development etc. that were needed as time progressed. He had full stack responsibility and was helping create a culture of high quality clean code, teaching colleagues to test drive and pair program.

    Keynote > Finding Your Team's North Star
    By Dennis Nerush R&D Director @ HiredScore

    Many companies have a vision, mission statement, and values, however most often they exist as slogans that are too broad and disconnected from the actual teams within the company. Teams that write down and establish the vision for their team and their core values boost their motivation and sense of accomplishment as it aligns everyone on the expected behaviors and their purpose.

    In this session, I'll share why I believe that it’s important for every team to define how they contribute to the company vision and align with their specific team values. In addition, I'll share my story of how did we come up with them in my group.

    By Shilo Magen Engineering Manager @ Wix.com

    I can't listen to WhatsApp voice notes during the day so I wrote a WhatsApp bot that solves it for me. Apparently, there are also hundreds of thousands of people around the world who can no longer listen to voice notes because of this solution.

    This talk will take you through the journey of how the bot was created, its virality, the good and the bad decisions along the way, and what I learned from it.

    Code at the Crossroads: Managing the Intersection of Codebase and Design Systems at Scale
    By Tom Nipravsky CEO & Co-Founder @ Drimz

    The product development space faces significant challenges.

    In the eye of this storm, developers are forced to maneuver the complexities of managing design systems - a tricky puzzle that challenges many developers every day. They must ensure that the design meets the standards of managers and product designers, while also managing large-scale UI components on their codebase, ensuring accessibility, optimizing performance, - and simultaneously delivering a smooth and accurate user experience.

    In this session I will provide mental models, and unveil fresh new tools and communication methods - to help developers manage design systems at volume, that align with our temperament and passion. A great resource for whoever wants to increase their skills and knowledge in managing design systems at scale.
