In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Gilad Shoham about building effective mentorship relationships, leading fully distributed teams and the evolving role of developers in an AI-augmented future.

This week on That Tech Pod, Laura and Kevin are joined by Gilad Shoham, VP of Engineering at Bit, to talk about the future of AI-driven development, composable architecture, and the cyber risks that come with them. Gilad has spent his career at the intersection of startups, enterprise engineering, and open-source communities, and he brings a clear, practical perspective on how technology is evolving. We start with what composable architecture actually means, why it matters, and how it's shaping the way modern teams build software. From there, we get into AI's growing role in development, how AI-generated and reused code could introduce vulnerabilities at scale, and whether AI will replace parts of a developer's job or remain more of a "co-pilot." Gilad also shares his take on the next big shift in developer workflows over the next five years. On the personal side, Gilad reflects on his path from Israel's elite IDF programming unit, to founding startups, to leading teams at Sisense, and now scaling engineering at Bit. He talks about the lessons from his startup days that still influence how he leads, and how his experiences as a world chess champion and professional debater sneak into his everyday life.

In today's rapidly evolving tech world, the rise of AI-generated code promises unprecedented speed, but it also comes with a hidden trap: unsustainable, brittle systems that collapse under complexity. In this TCAST episode, Alexander McCaig sits down with Gilad Shoham, the visionary behind Bit.dev and Hope AI, to unpack why 90% of AI code will fail unless developers fundamentally change their approach. Shoham introduces the concept of composable programming—building software like Lego blocks rather than stitching fragile snippets together. By treating code as structured, reusable components rather than random lines, organizations can scale their development healthily and predictably. You'll discover how Hope AI redefines "code generation" as "code assembly," why traditional AI assistants are missing the mark, and how holistic code architecture can future-proof your projects. If you're serious about digital transformation and AI ethics, this is a must-listen conversation.

Today, we sit down with Gilad Shoham, Head of Engineering at Bit.dev In this episode, Gilad will walk us through the fundamentals of Bit, how it enables composable architectures, and how development teams are using it as part of their workflow. We will touch on common challanges that developers are facing nowadays such as scaling teams, enabling them to be independent and move fast, while keeping the integration of the entire platform seamless. We will also touch on the future of AI-assisted development and how Bit.dev fits in this bigger picture.

In this episode, I (Steve Edwards) flew solo on the mic but had the pleasure of hosting a truly insightful conversation with Gilad Shoham, VP of Engineering at Bit.Cloud. Gilad brought the heat from Israel as we explored how Bit is revolutionizing enterprise software architecture—and how AI is being layered on top to supercharge developer productivity. We started by breaking down Bit’s core platform, which helps teams compose applications from reusable, independently versioned components. Think Lego blocks, but for your codebase. It’s all about boosting dev velocity, reducing duplication, and making collaboration across teams more seamless. Gilad walked us through some jaw-dropping features: versioning without Git, deep component CI pipelines, and even Bit’s ability to replace monolithic repositories with a graph of decoupled components. Everything is Node + TypeScript under the hood, and while it’s currently JS-focused, the ambition is clearly broader. Then came the big twist: AI. Bit is now leveraging AI not to just write code, but to compose it using existing components. Instead of bloating your codebase with endless variations of the same button, Bit’s AI understands your graph and builds features by intelligently reusing what’s already there. It’s like Copilot with a memory—and architectural sense.

💡 What if AI didn’t just generate code, but composed it intelligently? In this episode, I sit down with Gilad Shoham, Head of Development at , to explore the future of AI-driven software composition and modular development. 🔍 Key Highlights: ✅ Composable Software: Why modular development is the future ✅ AI in Development: Moving from code generation to code composition ✅ Scaling Teams: Managing consistency and velocity across distributed teams ✅ Enterprise Challenges: Dependency management, automation, and AI adoption 🎧 Listen now and discover how AI is revolutionizing software engineering!

What do you do when you’re juggling 52 tech interviews in one month? 💡 Gilad Shoham (Dev & Open Source Leader @Bit) created a personal feedback system using a private Facebook group where friends helped him reflect on each interview. He tracked the vibes, company size, product excitement, and location — all to make an intentional career choice, not a rushed one. In this honest and insightful interview with Taylor Desseyn, Gilad shares: ✅ Why you should slow down before accepting an offer ✅ Smart questions to ask during interviews ✅ How he assesses independence, ego, and communication when hiring for remote teams ✅ And the surprising way he stays aligned with his international devs across time zones If you're job hunting, building a team, or just love open source — you’ll want to hear this one. 🎥 Watch now and take notes!
