Credit networks are a type of decentralized payment infrastructure with no central currency, but where nodes extend each other various amounts of credit, using IOUs whose value depend on the trust between the transacting nodes. An independent and anonymity-preserving alternative to traditional payment systems in theory, actual implementations of credit networks so far have relinquished anonymity,...

After hundreds of performance investigations, some patterns begin to emerge. You could save a lot of time here, or find the root cause more easily there. In this talk, you'll see what I learned from years of performance work in the field, which processes and tools work, and what I think can still be improved. First, we'll talk about anti-methods for performance investigations and the USE checklist...

After 2 years, 800 meetings with startups (seriously I counted) and a lot of casual conversations with other investment professionals I came to realise that there are recurring red flags that are unique to the situations in which Israeli startups interact with international VCs and are almost certainly not known to most Israeli entrepreneurs. This is not a session about "Israeli aggressiveness Vs....

Using data in in making decisions is becoming more and more crucial. But if we're not careful, we could easily be led astray and make decisions that range from hilarious to dangerous.

What is it about philosophy that, even today, makes people sit and debate about seemingly "nothing"? How can these vague notions and abstractions have any relevance in today's world of hard facts and cold logic? In my talk, I'll try and show how philosophy, with emphasis of linguistic philosophy, relates closely to what we do in our everyday lives as programmers. How simple things like programming...

You’ve probably heard about microservices (too much?) and how it’s used by giants like netflix and amazon. We developed many microservices in Kenshoo over the years, and enjoyed their benefits. However, not all was perfect. Each new service experienced similar obstacles, we saw large technical debt around maintenance, and adoption across the company was slow. This raised many questions: Why is ado...

For Midburn 2017 the IT/Technical department created most of the software from scratch. The development was done by volunteers who created open source software. In parallel we started talking to other burn events around the world to adopt our software. During the development we used open source technologies, created our own infrastructure and handled the required loads. MP3

All developers (but the "Bravest", "Stupidest", or "Busiest") spend time on Software Design. Where and how did we learn how to do it? What method do you follow? DRAL ("drawing rectangles and lines") or PASTMS ("presenting a structure that makes sense")? We spend much time on designs (the meetings, ohhh - the meetings), and even more: so many hopes to get a better software out of it, so it worth ga...

The idea behind the “Apple I” personal computer, was dismissed by HP - the Google of that time. Apple’s co-founder - Woz, really wanted to build the personal computer as an HP product.

HP’s decision, is just one example of many - where history teaches us that we are not alone....

Different requirements (high availability, data residency) and high level designs for aws cross region data replication (S3 vs dynamodb vs kinesis vs couchbase vs cassandra). This talk will focus on requirements, data consistency and write conflicts (CRDT example). It is a "theoretical" talk in the sense that no Forter specific design is presented, and should guide architects that want to design t...
