Is your AI development stack quietly trapping you in a state of "microgravity" vendor lock-in?
In this episode of Agents of Dev, hosts Mitch Ashley and Brad Shimmin break down why the latest wave of AI engines—headlined by Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.8—are evolving into fully integrated operational systems rather than standalone models.
Brad reveals how he used Claude Code to blueprint a complex 2,800-line Python migration in just five turns, shifting the architecture from a simple lift-and-shift to an optimized, AI-forward upgrade.
The duo also dives into Starburst’s decentralized "catalog of catalogs" approach to data gravity, Harness's savvy acquisition of CodeCov to eradicate verification debt at the point of origin, and a game-changing open-source tool called Graphify that spins up queryable context graphs for agentic workflows with a single terminal command.
