Monitoring is important - but as your company grows it becomes harder to keep an eye on all the different moving parts. As the times roll by and the company grows new technologies are being added to the stack and it’s essential to make sure those can be monitored reliably out there in the wild. We want to share how we transformed monitoring from a one man job to something every developer and Product Manager cares about and actively participates in. This talk will introduce you to open source tools that can enable such a solution. Walking you through a cultural transformation that makes monitoring accessible to everyone.MP3

About a year a go we decided to move from AngularJS to Angular, after 1.5 weeks of development and refactoring we were live in prod. Result were: 0 bugs, 0 down time and most important 0 time was spent on QA. In the never ending progress of Front-End frameworks, you need to iterate fast without breaking your app. In this presentation I want to show the pipeline we built for our web apps, this pipeline gives us very fast way to reach production with very high confidence that no bugs reached production, We will talk about development, testing, build & deployments and how to combine it all to one bullet proof pipeline.MP3

Open source software is one of the biggest game-changers in our world. It has a lot of benefits, the most critical one being minimizing the time to market. But it’s not a free meal, and you should take care of many aspects when choosing one: - Bug fixes (“wait a minute, I need to know $lang?!”) - Security (“who the f*** gave full access to my credentials dir”) - Stability in different bad cases (“why did jobs execute dozens of times when workers lost connection”)Those can catch you one day in a very unpleasant situation.In this talk I will take you on a tour of some key indicators that you need to bear in mind when choosing an open-source library or component.MP3

A few months ago, I got my new 3D Printer. As a Kickstarter project, it came as half-baked product - its firmware topped with many annoying bugs. In hope to fix some of them, I went to look into the firmware, but alas - it was encrypted with some sort of substitution cipher. In this talk I will show you how I used some data science, statistics, ARM architecture knowledge and much guesswork to defeat the encryption of the firmware. We will see some Python code and I will walk through some IDA scripts I built especially for this mission. Let the firmware's secrets reveal themselves!MP3

It’s almost midnight. Me and my daughter are looking for jumpers, matrices and resistors. There is a bug in the game we’re building, and it doesn’t seem as if we are going to bed anytime soon.Teaching kids recursion and data structures didn’t create the thrill I thought it would. But building games does! My daughter Roni and I will talk about introducing kids to the world of programing, 3D printing, Scratch, Arduino, Ali Express orders and hot glue. We’ll cover the existing tools from which kids can learn how to code, at what age should they start, and which projects to choose.And why girls at school are anxious about coding? Is it a boy’s club already before high-school?MP3

In this talk we'll take a hard look at one of the most commonly used, and at least as commonly misunderstood, elements in software engineering: time. Time is so fundamental to the way humans experience reality that we don't normally give it a second thought, but it's just as fundamental to software systems. Without a correct model for working with time BAD THINGS HAPPEN: data is persisted out of order, exceptions occur where they shouldn't be possible, and production systems blow up.We'll cover the various common representations of time, acknowledge their caveats and deficiencies, and hopefully learn a few new tools and practices along the way.MP3

פודקאסט מספר 359 של רברס עם פלטפורמה - אורי ורן מארחים את ארז ברקנר לשיחה על עננים נטולי שרתים (Serverless . . .), א-סינכרוניות ואנטי-חומר.לפני הכל, חדשות מרגשות - כנס רברסים השביעי (Reversim Summit 2019) יוצא לדרך!כן, כבר - 17-18 ביוני 2019, הצוות מתחיל להתאסף, ואם אתם (או אתן, או החברות שאתם עובדים בהן) רוצים להיות ספונסרים ולהתחבר לכנס הנפלא הזה, רוצו לתפוס מקום  ממש עוד מעט יפתח גם ה -  Call for Papers - אם יש לכם סיפור מעניין, אנחנו רוצים לשמוע, זה המקום. אם חיפשתם רעיונות ליעדים לשנה החדשה, הרצאה בכנס (או לפחות הגשת הצעה רשמית) יכולה להיות אחלה אופציה.אז איפה הסרבר שלי?ארז מפתח כבר הרבה שנים, התחיל בתור ילד בין 10 עם Commodore 64 ותכנות בבייסיק; תואר ראשון בזמן התיכון ושירות צבאי ביחידה טכנולוגית של משרד ראש הממשלה (בטח מותג מחדש מאז כ - Data Science).אחרי הצבא, הרבה שנים (14) ב - Check Point (בהתחלה כמפתח קרנל של Linux), שם גם נוצר הקשר עם אביעד מור, היום השותף (וה-CTO) ב-Lumigo.פגישה עם עולם ה-Serverless דרך עולמות ה-Cloud (ארז) וה - Emerging Technologies (אביעד), וב-2017 מעבר והקמה של -Lumi

In the last decade, the centrality of front-end components vastly growing. Developing front-end in a large scale requires declarations and enforcement of principles and guidelines for keeping the code maintainable, extensible and stable. My talk main notion is to introduce the S.O.L.I.D principles within the context of front-end components. I will discuss the reasons for implementing the S.O.L.I.D principles in our renew web applications as a comparison to our starting point. I will suggest guidelines based on my interpretation of S.O.L.I.D in the front-end world. I will enrich the discussion by supplying various practical examples regarding the guidelines implementation.MP3

In our industry, there is a clear differentiation between B2C and B2B. And while the business models and sales funnel can be different, we tend to have a different approach in terms of UX and product. But, why?The people that are using our products don't stop being consumers the moment they enter their office, and the high level experience they are expecting from the apps in the their pocket don't disappear when they sit on their desks. In this Lightning talk I am going to share some examples, the lessons I learned from working in a startup that creates medical devices for doctors and nurses all around the world, from Africa to the USA.MP3

At last year's Reversim, Iftach Bar gave a beautiful talk called “Lets talk about your salary”. He taught engineers how to negotiate their salaries when getting hired. But while salary negotiation is hard for candidates, it's practically a nightmare for employers. When we hire we're faced with the impossible task of evaluating the potential value of a perfect stranger to our company, knowing that the cost of being wrong could be extremely high (especially for startups). In this presentation I will share how at BigPanda we try to minimize that risk so that eventually both sides are happy. It'll also give candidates a chance to better understand how managers think when making offers.MP3
