    AI that knows your entire codebase

  • Author of the post here—as another commenter mentioned, this is indeed a bit dated now, someone should probably write an updated post!

    There's been a ton of evolution in dev tools in the past 3 years with some old workhorses retiring (RIP Phabricator) and new ones (like Graphite, which is awesome) emerging... and of course AI-AI-AI. LLMs have created some great new tools for the developer inner loop—that's probably the most glaring omission here. If I were to include that category today, it would mention tools like ChatGPT, GH Copilot, Cursor, and our own Sourcegraph Cody (https://cody.dev). I'm told that Google has internal AI dev tools now that generate more code than humans.

    Excited to see what changes the next 3 years bring—the pace of innovation is only accelerating!
