Itay Wolfish

I build full-stack systems and the infrastructure under them, then write down what actually worked.

Founding platform engineer at Echo, running the AWS/Kubernetes platform under an AI product built on a deliberately boring stack. Eight years across full-stack and devops, based in Tel Aviv. Currently learning Rust in public. The write-ups are in Writing.

  1. Testless against hono: the receipts

    I ran testless against honojs/hono’s real commit history. Two fixes selected 12 of 2,684 tests and 39 of 2,681. A third selected 47%, and I’m not hiding that one.

  2. adeptability learns to publish, automate, and admit what it drops

    adeptability 1.4 to 1.9: publishing skill libraries, composing agents into scheduled loops, and admitting when a harness drops a file.

  3. I got tired of CI re-running tests nobody doubted

    testless: a Rust CLI that reads a git diff, walks a static call graph across TypeScript, Go, and Rust, and prints the exact tests a change impacts.
