Sourcegraph engineer here. I'd be interested to know what you were searching for and what your expectation for top result was. We already do things like boost class name matches higher than functions (GitHub's new search does the

There is also plz.review which more closely mirrors gerrit (ui flow, keyboard driven, etc). Plus I found the cli more pleasing to use than graphites. But glad there are finally options in this space!

Also surprised by all these articles. But your point made me realise that most people didn't do accounting in high school like I did (also a South African). I wonder what some other uncommon high school curriculums from other parts of

This is tricky but when you reframe it it's clear the heuristic you mention is the correct one. The value of a test is giving signal to a developer that the code they wrote is correct. If a test is flaky due to the test or the code, th

Capturing is very simple since it is just plain text. For example here is a guide which uses siri on iOS to capture voice notes to your org-mode inbox: https://orgmode-exocortex.com/2020/04/30/voice-capture-or

10K+ concurrent requests to a single server sounds like a server that is mostly shuffling bits around. I assume the 150 concurrent is more realistic for a frontend server which actually does something. Also note the speaker is a CTO of a CD

An improvement I'd make to this is not sending the current directory to docker, but rather a directory containing just the binary. That way you don't send a massive context to docker which you just throw away. (Especially in go pr
