In case folks are interested, I had a delightful interview about a year back with Max Brunsfeld, one of the original Atom devs who is now working on Zed: https://about.sourcegraph.…

LOL! He did talk a lot about his programming backstory (played with BASIC as a kid, no formal training, chemistry major, discovering Linux) and how this informed his worldview. Bot…

This is super common in my experience. Senior/experienced devs spend a bunch of time ramping up the inexperienced or new members of the team and don't have much time remaining to w…

Thanks! 100% agree with the sentiment that devs should get in front of customers. The best teams I've worked on, the devs have an "end-to-end" sense of ownership, and the organizat…

This is really important to call out. There have been a lot of really bad practices in the past that try to reduce "developer productivity" to something that approximates a widget …

Author of the post here. This really resonates with me. One of the best pieces of advice I've received in my life as a programmer, from my first manager actually, was "focus on get…

Sourcegraph CTO (and author of the post) here. There's no part of our product that seeks to track software productivity? We do have a feature ( https://about.sourcegraph.com/code-i…

I’m helping with the doctree effort at Sourcegraph. Apologies, the site isn’t actually up yet. This project is still very early stages and we wrote up the README to serve as a sort…

Sourcegraph CTO here. Does anyone know someone at GitHub or Microsoft we could get in touch with to take over maintenance of git.io? There are hundreds of thousands of references i…

Here is a list of open source projects that should update their git.io URLs, ranked in order of popularity: https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+https://git....

Actually that’s not quite right. We offer auto-indexing now for some languages with more on the way. If neither auto-indexing nor manual LSIF generation are an option, we fall back…

Sourcegraph CTO here. It's interesting to read about GitHub's approach and how it contrasts with the approach we've taken at Sourcegraph. One of the key tradeoffs the article highl…

Thank you for this super clear and concise write-up. Used it to write up these instructions for our users and customers to patch the vulnerability across their codebase and sharing…

Appreciate the feedback here (Sourcegraph CTO). I agree that's annoying. Kicking off a conversation on our end to figure out how to fix that. In the meantime, the workaround would …

Hey Edwin, if you're open to providing feedback, I'd love to understand which types of searches worked well for you in Google Code Search but not in Sourcegraph. We've invested a l…

Sourcegraph is open-core, with a dual licensing approach. You can run the open-source version here: https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph#sourcegraph-oss , and we have an ente…

We built Sourcegraph taking inspiration from Google Code Search ( https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/ex-googler-guide-dev-tool... ) to bring the power of code search—and precise co…
