Chain of Thought is the podcast where builders reason through what's changing. Host Conor Bronsdon sits down with the engineers and founders shipping AI in production to get past the hype into what's working and what isn't. Episodes cover model infrastructure, inference, agent frameworks, evaluation, and developer tools. Guests have come from NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, AMD, Databricks, Vercel, and more. Every episode carries a full transcript and show notes at chainofthought.show. New episodes weekly. Conor Bronsdon is an independent consultant and angel investor in AI infrastructure and developer tools. He led technical ecosystem at Modular, acquired by Qualcomm in 2026; led developer awareness at Galileo, acquired by Cisco; and ran developer marketing at LinearB, where he was GM of the Dev Interrupted podcast and community. Views expressed by the host and guests are their own.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-10T00:20:07.137048+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chain-of-thought-ai-agents"},"episode":{"title":"After Code Gen: What Graphite Is Building for the Post-AI Dev Stack | Greg Foster","slug":"after-code-gen-what-graphite-is-building-for-the-post-ai-dev-stack-greg-foster","published_at":"2025-09-24T14:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chain-of-thought-ai-agents/after-code-gen-what-graphite-is-building-for-the-post-ai-dev-stack-greg-foster","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/chain-of-thought-ai-agents","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/5fbf1f25","audio_url":"https://media.transistor.fm/5fbf1f25/7cecaaa7.mp3","summary":"The incredible velocity of AI coding tools has shifted the critical bottleneck in software development from code generation to code reviews. Greg Foster, Co-Founder & CTO of Graphite, joins the conversation to explore this new reality, outlining the three waves of AI that are leading to autonomous agents spawning pull requests in the background. He argues that as AI automates the \"inner loop\" of writing code, the human-centric \"outer loop\"—reviewing, merging, and deploying—is now under immense pressure, demanding a complete rethinking of our tools and processes.The conversation then gets tactical, with Greg detailing how a technique called \"stacking\" can break down large code changes into manageable units for both humans and AI. He also identifies an emerging hiring gap where experienced engineers with strong architectural context are becoming \"lethal\" with AI tools. This episode is an essential guide to navigating the new bottlenecks in software development and understanding the skills that will define the next generation of high-impact engineers.Follow the hostsFollow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Atin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Conor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Vikram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Yash⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Today's Guest(s)Connect with Greg on LinkedInFollow Greg on XGraphite Website: graphite.devCheck out Galileo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Try Galileo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Agent Leaderboard","meta_description":"The incredible velocity of AI coding tools has shifted the critical bottleneck in software development from code generation to code reviews.
