Join us for a professional meetup where we dive deep into the world of open source, explore how to navigate complex codebases, and examine the future of software development in the age of AI.
The event will be hosted at the Academic College of Tel Aviv-Yaffo and will conclude with the annual members' assembly of "HaMakor" – the Israeli association for the promotion of open source. Come to learn, contribute, and connect with the community.
Agenda
17:30 | Gathering and Mingling
18:00 | How to Navigate an Existing Codebase / Igor Khanin, Backend Engineer at Fireblocks
In our studies, we are used to writing everything from scratch, but in the real world and in open-source projects, the true challenge is understanding complex, existing codebases. In this talk, Igor will share practical techniques for code exploration and explain why this skill is even more critical in the era of LLMs.
18:30 | 3 Scenarios for the Future of Software Development / Eran Shlomo, Cofounder & CEO at flowpad
How are AI tools fundamentally transforming the software engineering profession? In this talk, we will analyze three potential scenarios for the near future of software development—from changes in how we write code and the automation of testing and integrations, to the evolving role of developers on the team.
19:15 | HaMakor Association Members' Assembly An opportunity to get to know the association's activities up close, influence its goals, and become part of the central voice for open source in Israel.
