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 Timestamps: 00:00 From IDF pain to founding Port 02:00 Pressure and ambition in Israeli tech 04:30 Why developers are blocked 07:50 What developers actually do all day 10:30 Ownership after DevOps 14:20 AI agents and engineering chaos 18:00 Why AI fails without context 22:30 Should developers worry about jobs 27:00 How engineering roles are changing 31:30 Marketing, authenticity, and tech 36:00 Working with investors as partners 41:00 Where Israeli tech needs to grow Hosted by Yoel Israel --- Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!
