flowkit-ui-backend VS sourcegraph

Flowminder | Southampton, UK | Full time/part time | Remote (UK) | Full stack software engineer (frontend bias) | python/react | 52000

Still looking for someone to join my small but wily team of engineers and help me build a new, open source (https://github.com/Flowminder/flowkit-ui and https://github.com/Flowminder/flowkit-ui-backend), data platform for the humanitarian and development sector. (There's lots of other interesting and impactful things to get your teeth into as well, but the role is primarily for this project to start with).

Flowminder is a pioneering, internationally operating non-profit organisation that supports disaster relief and development efforts through several products including the analysis of data gained from mobile phones and household surveys in ethical, privacy and security preserving manners.

We use things like:

Sourcegraph is a code AI platform that makes it easy to read, write, and fix code–even in big, complex codebases.

We are building Cody, an AI coding assistant that uses code search and code intelligence to help devs quickly understand what's happening in code and generate new code that matches the best practices in your codebase. Cody supports AI-enabled autocompletion, fixing bugs, refactoring, test generation, code explanation, and answering high-level questions. You can read Steve Yegge's post on why Cody's code context engine differentiates it from the fast-moving field of AI dev tools: https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/cheating-is-all-you-need.

That's pretty much what https://sourcegraph.com/ are selling, is it not?

Despite their shitty rug-pull <https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/53345>, I do really like Sourcegraph and one doesn't (currently?!) need to be logged in to use it: https://sourcegraph.com/search and they have a handy rewrite pattern such that one can just plug the repo path into the URL for quick searching e.g. https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/JetBrains/intellij-commun...

- https://sourcegraph.com is pivoting and building a copilot application (named Cody). This is pretty good, since sourcegraph is great at understanding your code

While a readable Dockerfile can work as documentation, there are a few caveats:

* the application needs to be designed to work outside containers (so, no hardcoded URLs, ports, or paths). Also, not directly related to containers, but it's nice if it can be easily compiled in most environments and not just on the base image.

* I still need a way to notify me of updates; if the Dockerfile just wgets a binary, this doesn't help me.

* The Dockerfiles need to be easy to find. Sourcegraph's don't seem to be referenced from the documentation, I had to look through their Github repos to find https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/tree/main/docker-... (though most are bazel scripts instead of Dockerfiles, but serve the same purpose)

We use Sourcegraph, which is a tool that searches through code in repositories. We leverage this tool in order to understand the adoption curve of our components across all of Reddit. We have a dashboard for each of the platforms to compare the inclusion of RPL components over legacy components. These insights are helpful for us to make informed decisions on how we continue to drive RPL adoption. We love seeing the green line go up and the red line go down!
