Agents can work in production, but usually only when they are closer to "workflows" that are very targeted to a specific use case.

Awesome to see another open source player in the space, especially after Sourcegraph went closed source. It looks like you're working on this full-time (and it's a lot of work to build great code search, as I know from working on

"Source-available but not strictly OSS" is, in most cases, not really giving anything of value to the community. You are not free to use it in building your own solutions. At best, it allows easier collaboration with customers.

The clearest way to understand it is that VS Code is open core software. There's actually a lot in that core, especially when you compare it to other open core products (ex. Gitlab). Enough that you can fork it and have a viable MVP fo

Nice (simple) introduction to the tree sitter APIs. If you're looking for a higher level interface, GritQL[0] is built on top of tree-sitter and could handle the same refactor with this query: language python `def $_($_): $_` as

This article is likely fake, since it's not on vjeux's actual blog[0] and there's no mention on Twitter.[1] The style is also all off. [0] https://blog.vjeux.com/ [1] https://x.com/Vjeux

To be clear, you don't need to make it more complex / failure-prone. I didn't say failover needs to be automated. Kubernetes or complex cloud services are not required to have some basic deployment automation. You can do it w

Yeah I'm not criticizing it as a charity, just pointing out this definitely isn't "superior to most commercial services." That being said, removing dependence on single hardware nodes isn't something you need a big

The post-mortem is honest, but the infrastructure is well below what I'd expect from commercial services. If a commercial provider told me they're dependent on a single physical server, with no real path or plans to fail over to a

How about I look at actual unions in software, like the NYT tech union that immediately started undermining merit, making illegal demands, and discouraging high performance. Every actual tech union that exists is a great advertisement for n

There are some unionized tech workers. I would never want their jobs over mine.

Embeddings are actually generally not that effective for code.

Yet professional athletes don't negotiate the same contract for everyone ( precisely why I hate unions and what this union is demanding).

Commoditized doesn't mean 0 capex. Literal commodities can in fact be very capital intensive (ex. offshore oil rigs). In this case, you need capital to stockpile the GPUs.

Yeah I agree those so-called startups deserve your scorn.

Asking employees to participate in a reasonable on-call rotation is not "wage theft." Your antagonistic/adversarial relationship is exactly what destroys cultures. If you attitude to an outage on a weekend is to ignore it and

Tripling the cost of running a tech company in Australia is effectively outlawing startups.

This is preposterous and basically kills startups completely. You genuinely think a seed stage startup should hire a complete "night shift" to ensure no engineers ever get paged "after hours?" This simply kills startups

Customers who insist on on prem require the most support burden and hassles. Have you shipped commercial on-prem software? Nobody wants to do it for <$1k. It's miserable.

The unfortunate truth (that I've had to learn the hard way as a founder) is that whole IT approval process is inevitable for any vendor indexing source code. Even when I've tried to offer lower price tiers, ~every company of 20+

Foundation models aren't primarily trained on ASTs, so you're typically going to have worse results than just using text unless you do extensive fine-tuning yourself. ASTs also generally don't actually have magical informatio
