“We've run almost three million sessions with it. To give an idea of the growth curve this has resulted in, in December, before the holidays, Inspect was writing around 10% of merged … requests across all of Ramp. That jumps to roughly 30% around the start of January, and then around 50% at the end of January, and today it's about 75%.”
Context. Bruggeman describes Inspect's growth from a side project. Years are inferred from his references to 'last year' and December/January; the talk was published 2026-11-02.
Zach Bruggeman, Principal engineer; founding engineer of Inspect. Built the tool Bruggeman writes about, so Bruggeman knows how it is used; Bruggeman is also an employee describing the company's own tool.
How this was checked
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-11-05).
The words are in whisper lines 147-156. The speaker says 'merged pull requests', and the passage elides 'pull' with an ellipsis ('merged … requests'), which is allowed. The figures 10%, 30%, 50% and 75% all match.
