They’re powerful. They’re proven. And according to Hiten Sonpal, CEO of RISE Robotics, they’ve hit their ceiling. Hiten joined the Snowpal Podcast to talk about what his company is building, what he’s learned from shipping over 9 million units at iRobot, and why he raised $5.7 million from the crowd instead of from VCs.

There’s a quiet crisis unfolding inside software engineering teams everywhere. Code is being written faster than ever — in some cases, features that once took weeks now take a single day. But here’s the uncomfortable question nobody is asking loudly enough: who’s checking the work? Tanvi Mittal (GitHub) has spent over 15 years in software quality — starting as a developer, moving into test automation, and now sitting at the sharp edge of a field being fundamentally reshaped by AI. In a recent conversation on the Snowpal Podcast, she offered a candid, street-level view of what’s actually happening inside engineering teams today.
