Author of the post here. Thought it might be of interest to call out some observations about how the world has changed since I wrote this:
1. Code search is more mainstream. It used to be most of Sourcegraph's sales came from ex-Googlers missing code search, but nowadays, most of our new revenue originates from dev teams just struggling with the challenge of big codebases.
2. Investment in dev tools has only accelerated. A lot of pandemic beneficiaries (virtual events, tele-medicine, at-home exercise equipment, crypto) are now reversing, but dev tools growth continues to be strong.
3. Bazel adoption has grown. Were I writing the post today, I would have had a category for monorepo tooling that included companies like EngFlow and Turborepo.
4. Kubernetes is still dominant for container orchestration, but serverless and managed services seem to be gaining more adoption. Classic tension between customer focus and open standards—will be interesting to see how we trade off dev-ex vs proprietary platform dependency.
Since this post was first published, we've also made a lot of advances at Sourcegraph and are looking for people who want to play around with some new experimental search and code intel features. Come say hi in our Discord! https://discord.gg/SSCBGByJeu https://discord.gg/SSCBGByJeu
