In this week’s episode sponsored by Optimal AI, we’re digging into what high-velocity engineering actually looks like when a team is AI-native from day one.
Our guest this week is Grainger from Spark Inventory, where a small engineering team is shipping at a pace we usually only see from much larger orgs. In the last 30 days, their team has run roughly 950 Optibot reviews, with agent workflows pushing 20-30 PRs a day and Optibot reviewing code across their human and autonomous development loops.
We’ll get into:
• How Spark built an agentic pipeline that turns product, testing, and app findings into PRs
• Why strong testing, codebase design, and clear engineering patterns make high velocity possible
• How their internal “Alfred” pipeline uses multiple models, a judge, engineering QA, and Optibot to move work from finding → implementation → review → publish
• Why code review becomes even more important as teams start shipping with agents
• How they think about model cost, quality, and velocity across Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek, and Optibot
We’ll also talk about the shift from traditional software delivery to AI-native engineering teams, where the bottleneck is no longer just writing code. It’s knowing what to trust, what to merge, and how to keep velocity high without creating chaos.
Your hosts: Iba Masood & Syed Ahmed (aka The Gitfather), serial founders, YC alums, and the team behind Optimal AI. Between them, they've spent 15+ years building in AI, and have interviewed over 300 engineering leaders.

About Optimal AI
Optimal AI is the team behind Optibot; AI engineers that review code, proactively fix CI failures and catch bugs. They identify 2x more security vulnerabilities and tech debt, with full architecture and codebase context vs code review tools. Optibots can pair program with your team and find dead code, compliance issues and vulnerabilities proactively, while reviewing engineering efficiency metrics to understand overall productivity.
Used by teams like MongoDB, MPulse, Prometric and more to save ~4 hours per engineer per week on reviews, security, and compliance work, and help visualize cycle times and productivity.
