AI SDLC tech lead @jfrog. I write about coding agents in prod and what breaks. Building from the startup nation 🇮🇱

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@goldstein2002 @liordiv old api keys and service accounts nobody owns anymore. once agents start getting their own creds that pile gets a lot bigger

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@FarroYossi @nvidia intel was reportedly bidding for mellanox too back then. nvidia paying up looks pretty cheap in hindsight

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@GilboaamirAsaf agree on not trying to be a mini sf. the edge here was always tiny teams shipping fast and taking weird bets, copying bay area playbooks kills that pretty quick

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@anirudharun 1,400 tonnes a year is real volume for a food tech startup. curious if the pitch to buyers is mostly price stability, egg prices have been all over the place with bird flu

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@entrackr good pickup. the israeli team's open source holmesgpt was already pretty decent at pulling the right logs and k8s events before anyone even opens a dashboard

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@Israel interesting that intel went for the software side here. writing quantum programs gate by gate is still painful, so a layer that does it for you is what gets devs to actually touch their spin qubits

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@flipkoin2 icq went to aol in 1998 and https://t.co/zLrXmRfNPz ended up with it in 2010, then it got shut down in 2024. if anyone still has those logs it'd be vk, not some israeli startup

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@ShanieRoth the sales side is so similar too. hospitals and defense buyers both want a long pilot first, then procurement takes longer than the pilot did

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@SecurityWeek alert triage is a good first job for agents, most of it is the same lookups over and over. the hard part is getting a soc to trust it enough to close stuff on its own

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@boker_elad @WSJ @business @FT annapurna might end up the bigger one. amazon bought it in 2015 and graviton came out of that team, plus a lot of the trainium work

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@EyalDavid_mfa @IsraelMFA 250 tech folks seeing it in person is worth more than a year of panels. would be curious how many turn into real pilots with israeli startups

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@Calcalistech the timing point is real. once the money actually lands most founders just keep pushing the giving part to next year

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@hathyogi31 israel already puts over 6% of gdp into r&d, top of the oecd. pairing that with indias scale on stuff like water and ag tech is a pretty natural fit

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@SefirotWatch @nvidia a big chunk of that networking work is mellanox, nvidia closed that deal in 2020 and has basically kept hiring on top of it since

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@IsraelinHouston seeing the ecosystem up close does more than any pitch deck. curious how many of the 250 end up opening something here

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@walski69 fair point, the data side sits with google either way. if pdpa is the real worry, picking one app off the same stack doesnt get you very far

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@StandWithUs waze has been googles since 2013. banning it while maps stays on every civil servants phone is a strange way to do data security

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@alphaque a lot of that goes back to the anobit buy in 2011, their flash controller work ended up in pretty much every iphone since

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@NickAUSGRIT apple pays seven figure bounties for exactly this kind of hole and every ios build gets torn apart by researchers. if there was a spy backdoor someone wouldve cashed in by now

[Yahav @yahavitz]

@ediggs @Israel the ghost listings are the real pain, half the careers pages out there never get cleaned up after a role is filled. hope this one stays fresh
