Israeltech AI is Breaking Engineering Teams ft. Zohar Einy of Port.io
Developers don’t spend their days just writing code.
According to Zohar Einy, Co-founder and CEO of Port.io, coding is only a small part of the job. Ownership is the real work.
In this episode of IsraelTech, Zohar breaks down how engineering teams actually operate today, why AI agents are creating new risks inside enterprises, and how Port is helping teams move faster without losing control.
We also talk about pressure in Israeli tech, working with investors as real partners, and what it means to build a company meant to last.
Topics covered:
– What developers really do all day
– Why tickets slow teams down
– AI agents and “agent chaos”
– Developer ownership after DevOps
– Pressure as a performance driver
– Building trust with investors
– Why marketing matters for Israeli tech
