Congrats on the launch. This seems very compelling. For anyone asking "Why can't GitHub just do this?", (1) never underestimate an extremely smart and motivated team, and (2) competition is critical and valuable. Let's c

This tweet thread has many obvious falsehoods, such as: "Also by the end of the day today (Saturday) they stopped processing wires altogether." Banks never process wires over the weekend. In fact, the following tweet in the thread

Congrats on the launch! Copilot was the v0 application of LLMs for code, but I think using them in this way will be even more valuable to devs. Added Buildt to the list at https://github.com/sourcegraph/awesome-code-ai

Yes, we're getting this out to existing customers first (including self-hosted customers). Anyone can sign up on the waitlist in my post above, and we're automatically prioritizing existing customers.

They're working on it: https://githubnext.com/projects/copilot-view/ . We (Sourcegraph) are also working on it, and also bringing other kinds of code intelligence to the LLM so we can answer more kinds of ques

Sourcegraph CEO here. Just to be clear, so internet rumors don’t get started, there was no “offer” here. We started Sourcegraph with the intent of remaining independent because building really good code search and intelligence means working

Sourcegraph CEO here. “Challenging times” is how it should be all the time. That means competition is forcing both GitHub and us to build better stuff for devs. Devs win. But to be clear, as a company we are doing well and growing nicely in

Sourcegraph CEO here. We definitely need a cheaper tier for smaller companies or those who don’t need our entire feature set. I agree! What do you think that should be? Overall, we’re building what our customers need, and our product goes w

Re: Sourcegraph, we're working on improving that, and sorry you couldn't get the results you wanted. We primarily build for the code within customers, where this particular problem is less common than across all open-source reposi

Sorry for the glitchy scrolling issue on our handbook, thank you both for re-raising this, and thank you @niel for the PR ( https://github.com/sourcegraph/handbook/pull/6080 ). I confirmed that the PR fixed it,

It’s still an accurate term under that definition. Single-tenant cloud is technically multi-tenant with respect to the underlying cloud provider (AWS/GCP/etc.), but not with respect to the software service provider (GitLab in this

For products like GitLab and Sourcegraph that started self-hosted, there is not really any cross-customer data or cross-customer functionality. This is what customers expect. They want their data to be isolated and not shared. For other pro

Everyone assumes cloud == multi-tenant, but single-tenant cloud has a lot of benefits and is becoming more common: GitLab Dedicated is single-tenant, GitHub is prioritizing and rebuilding "GitHub AE" (their single-tenant cloud off

Sourcegraph CEO here. I respect what you and your team built. It’s tough to build a brand new kind of product, and I heard from many people who loved Kite over the last several years.

Looks potentially interesting to us at Sourcegraph. We built pricing, metering, and license keys into our product ourselves a few years ago because (1) nothing like this existed at the time and (2) a large portion of our customer base was (

I think it's cool when websites are editable. If I found a typo on a site, I'd enjoy the overall experience of fixing it myself more than asking it to be fixed. I realize not everybody is the same.

Also, regarding Microsoft/GitHub code search's distribution advantage for companies whose code is already all on GitHub.com: 1. That means our product needs to be even better, and we're up for that challenge! Devs thankfully

Sourcegraph CEO here. I posted my thoughts on the positioning. Code search for Microsoft/GitHub is not a winner-take-all proposition unlike many of their other products (eg Microsoft Teams vs. Slack), so the analogy is a bit different.

Sourcegraph CEO here. We make a popular code search/intelligence product that partially competes with this (referenced many times in the comments here). Right now, most devs don't use code search or know why it's great. GitHu

Also all of our (Sourcegraph's) code is public, so you can see what the architecture actually looks like implemented in code. https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph
