Most developers work on large code repositories--files with thousands upon thousands of lines of code which reference, call and stack on top of one another to create a crazy complex final product. But you can also break a codebase into small, component parts that can be addressed individually, rearranged and swapped in and out as you’d like. We cal…

It took time for Kent Dodds to not just build a following, but to develop a voice -- a unique perspective that people wanted to hear in the dev community. How did he do it? And how can you become the kind of person that other developers want to listen to?Door PI Media

Over 600 changes are being pushed daily to Wix's codebase. How can we make sure that Wix still feels like Wix while maintaining our development velocity? The answer is “Design Systems”. Listen to Asaf Yonay and Liron Cohen explain more on organizing order out of chaos.Door PI Media

Every company, and everyone, uses the cloud. We use it because it’s easy, fast and cost effective. But, a lot of the time, we use it in a sub-optimal way. We could be doing better. Listen to Dvir Mizrahi tell the story of FinOps - developing a smarter and better financial engineering culture.Door PI Media

When Wix needed a company-wide toolkit, the front-end infrastructure team decided to build it openly, letting developers around the company participate in its development, similar to the way the open source works. Hundreds took up the task. Was it chaos, or a new and better way of developing software? Listen to the full story with Ran Yitzhaki.…

All data science projects are composed of the algorithm (model) and the data. While data scientists are natively focused on math and models, experience is showing them that for a data science project to succeed in real life, much more than a deep understanding of math is needed. Gilad and Noa will take us through the journey their team went on in t…

Is good enough good enough? For years Wix engineers were building fine services, but as systems became more complex, it was taking too long to do it. The code was clean, but it took thousands of lines for each service. It was inefficient, so Wix’s CEO & Co-Founder, Avishai Abrahami, decided to step in. He set up weekly, hands-on, coding sessions wi…

How do you get all the divisions, teams, employees and projects in a company to follow a single rule? You can email everyone, but good luck getting them to read it. You can talk to everybody individually, if you have unlimited free time on your hands. Last year, Roy Sommer and his team members decided they needed a better way. So they founded CI Po…

Platformization is technical, high-level work. But that doesn’t mean any talented developer can learn it like they would, say, a programming language. In fact, this kind of work is hardly about the technical details at all. When Dan Bar Shalom joined Wix, he became the second member of a two-man team. Together with his colleague Itai Chejanovsky, h…

When members of his analytics team began noticing long load times in the Wix Dashboard, originally, Eyal Eizenberg wasn’t quite sure why. When taking a closer look at the code he realized what was wrong: a progress bar--a minor, largely superficial feature that happened to be weighing down the entire app. Turns out Eyal’s problem is common to all w…

For consumers, Black Friday is a convenient time to get a good deal. For developers, it is a tsunami ready to take down everything in its path. Every year, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, traffic to online shopping sites spikes three, four, five times over. Websites built to accommodate a certain amount of demand can easily be overwhelmed by a st…

Onboarding during a pandemic is difficult.

No need to mention how crucial onboarding is impacting any company, but onboarding was also a challenge before COVID. Two years ago, Wi…
