Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

TL;DR: We had interns, they did great work, and I am super proud of them and thankful to Google and especially Alon Cohen, Moran Otorgust, Tehila Gourary, Shaked Tal, Netanel Persik, Yoav Yanovski who let me take part in this initiative, Not So short version: I am a big supporter of on-the-job-training. I believe our education system is fundamentally broken and the entire way we train people for both work and life needs to change.  When I heard from Shaked that this is a possibility, I started looking for what type of tasks in my domain they can take on. “What kind of skills do they have?” “Basic python”. “I can work with that”. Our highschool interns wrote api tests that verify api credentials for the integration lab. They also wrote selenium automation that does the same for UI credentials. They did meaningful work, and they got paid for it, much better than working the usual summer jobs highschoolers get. So yeah, We had to match the tasks to the programmers, We had to help them a bit with ramp-up, and working with juniors means spending more time supporting them. But now they are almost fully independent, picking up their own tasks, managing most of the development and testing themselves, Just goes to show you how quickly people can learn and become productive with the right motivation. This is useful work, and they were only here for a month, working 3 days a week. Imagine what we could’ve done if we had them for longer. I’m super proud of you Daria Dvoeglazova, Darina Grinkrug, Roman Tymoshchuk, Hadas Zelibanski, shlomit abaye, and feel a great satisfaction to have been a part of on-boarding you to the tech industry.

Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?

Hey Everyone! :) I’ve been working on a super interesting project with Assaf Alon at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and I couldn’t wait to share it. We decided to mix AI with some classic gaming fun by tackling Plants vs. Zombies (PvZ) using the Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithm. Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve been up to: 1. Building the Game Engine: We created our own high-speed game engine in C++ to simulate PvZ. Yes, it was as nerdy and awesome as it sounds! 2. Implementing MCTS: We took the basic MCTS algorithm and gave it a serious upgrade with some domain-agnostic and domain-specific tweaks. 3. Adding Heuristics and Parallelization: By adding some smart heuristics and experimenting with parallelization techniques, we managed to boost the algorithm’s performance, making it handle tougher game levels like a champ. Why PvZ? It’s straightforward but complex enough to challenge our AI skills. Our project shows how MCTS, with a bit of fine-tuning, can be a game-changer (literally) in strategy games. This project has been a blast – combining gaming and AI in the best way possible. If you’re curious about the details or want to geek out over our findings, check out our project. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dcQCjdy7

At OX Security, we're on a mission to exterminate the manual processes in AppSec that are eating away at our efficiency—much like locusts in a field! 🦗 Our latest research, presented at Black Hat 2024 by Eyal Paz and Liad Cohen, uncovers a swarm of hidden dangers: transitive vulnerabilities in software dependencies. While developers often rely on standard outputs to spot vulnerabilities, our findings show that this is just scratching the surface. Read our latest research report to see how we can protect our software fields from being overrun: https://lnkd.in/esSEiWFc #AppSec #CyberSecurity #DevSecOps #BlackHat2024 #SoftwareSecurity #TransitiveLocusts

Are you a student eager to be well-prepared for a critical course? In the attached video (presented in Hebrew), I introduce the "Assaf Method" within just the first five minutes. This technique is named in loving memory of Assaf Shomer and is designed to help you prepare for key courses, either with a friend's support or on your own. 𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥: Get a rough idea of what the course covers and what’s expected—think of it like seeing a blurry Mona Lisa. You won’t get every detail, but you’ll know enough to feel prepared and dive deeper during the semester. As a Teaching Assistant for the Data Structures course, I dedicate the rest of the video to demonstrating how to apply this method specifically to Data Structures. Link: https://lnkd.in/e_J9538q I hope this technique helps you achieve greater success in your studies!

Yuval Regev and his BI & Analytics team at Atera, the world’s first AI-powered IT management platform, lifted a core business KPI by 34% using the Loops Feature Impact Model. We are so proud and delighted to work with this leading analytics team. Initially, the naive effect (before/after) of a recent feature release appeared to have a positive outcome. However, with Loops they not only discovered that the causal effect was negative, they were empowered to make a series of iterative changes to maximize the KPI. You can read their case study to learn more about the process Yuval and team applied in making this significant impact on growth at Atera. #productledgrowth #causalml #causality https://lnkd.in/euc2JQDU

I did not invest in Firefly. In fact, the first time I heard of this venture was probably after learning about their CTO/ Co-Founder, Sefi Genis, who tragically lost his life at the Nova music festival on October 7th. Later, I got acquainted with Ido Neeman, the CEO/ Co-Founder, and discovered that Firefly had an ongoing business relationship with one of our portfolio companies. Sefi’s and Firefly’s story touched me deeply on a personal level. As an early-stage investor, when evaluating new teams, we often consider many risks—most of which are difficult to even hypostatize. We think of risks, such as lack of PMF, challenges to achieve traction, etc. However, it's unimaginable to think that a startup founder/ CTO might meet such a tragic fate as Sefi did. I followed Firefly’s journey from afar, occasionally exchanging messages with Ido. The interview Ido gave to Moshe Zilberstein from Next47 was incredibly moving, highlighting not only outstanding personal resilience but also extraordinary business resilience—exactly the kind of strength early-stage investors look for in their portfolio founders. The way Ido explained how they coped after realizing Sefi was gone, and how he and the entire Firefly team grew from such a profound moment of grief, speaks volumes about the essence of the Israeli tech industry. R.I.P Sefi Genis. Am Israel Chai. Way to go Firefly team! Link to the interview - https://lnkd.in/ec2ZgWvC
