  • Building Enterprise Infrastructure with Bit & AI with Gilad Shoham - JSJ 676

    Building Enterprise Infrastructure with Bit & AI with Gilad Shoham - JSJ 676
    May 8 2025
    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.

    Key takeaways:
    • Bit components wrap your existing code (like React/Vue) with metadata, testing, and versioning.
    • Their infrastructure makes it possible to build and test components independently and in parallel.
    • The AI strategy is reuse-first: generate only when needed, always compose from what already exists.
    • Even massive enterprise codebases can gradually migrate to Bit without a full rewrite.
    • Expect a human-in-the-loop process, but with most of the heavy lifting handled by AI.

  • Replacing Create React App: Why Create TS Router App Is the Future of React Development - JSJ 675

    Replacing Create React App: Why Create TS Router App Is the Future of React Development - JSJ 675
    May 2 2025
    We’ve been diving into the evolving landscape of React app development and why tools like Create TS Router App (CTA) are stepping up to fill the gap left by the deprecation of Create React App (CRA). What we’ve learned is that SSR (server-side rendering) isn’t one-size-fits-all—e-commerce sites need it for SEO and performance, but internal tools and dashboards often don’t. That’s where CTA shines. It gives us a fast, modern, Vite-powered setup with TanStack Router built in, so we can start small and scale up without committing to heavy frameworks like Next.js from day one.

    What we love about CTA is how it keeps things familiar (same structure as CRA) while giving us type safety, file-based routing, and the flexibility to add only the features we need—like Clerk, Sentry, or even SolidJS support. Whether we’re building a simple prototype or a full-featured app, CTA makes the experience smoother, more intuitive, and future-friendly.

    In this episode, we dive into a mix of recommendations and a behind-the-scenes look at our podcasting journey. First, we share our love for Revolutions, the podcast by Mike Duncan, where he takes listeners through major historical revolutions, from the English and French Revolutions to the Russian Revolution and beyond. It's a fascinating, deep dive into history that we highly recommend.
