(Sam Nadler and Jordan Metzner are back — and this week they’re joined by Amar Goel, CEO of BITO, the AI-powered code review agent transforming how engineering teams ship software.
Jordan kicks things off by unveiling a surprise build: a fully custom BITO Slack Bot that can run PR reviews, generate stats, crack developer jokes, write haikus, and even drop into Biddo Disco Mode. Amar reacts live and pulls back the curtain on how BITO’s deep codebase analysis works — revealing how enterprise teams are merging PRs 10× faster, reducing revert rates, and catching issues that “vibe coding” tools simply miss.
From multi-million-line monorepos to legacy systems held together by duct tape, BITO’s agents are surfacing performance bugs, security vulnerabilities, logic issues, and cross-service breakages before humans ever see them. Amar explains why code review is just the start — and why BITO’s deep code intelligence unlocks a new era of AI developer tooling.
Then the trio shifts into the biggest AI news stories of the week:
• OpenAI’s internal CODE RED and the escalating model war
• Google Gemini’s rise and the threat of distribution
• Amazon’s new AI chips and the GPU economics debate
• The global AI arms race — from TPUs to supply chains to trillion-dollar CapEx bets
It’s a lively, candid, highly technical conversation with one of the sharpest minds in AI dev tooling.
