Congratulations Sourcegraph for building not one, but two hyper growth products! 

Dan Adler has been at the center of it and is a rare CEO with deep product, customer, and analytics experience to continue to build on the incredible foundation of Code Search as we move into the next era of Human and AI Agent Code Understanding. Onward and Upward! 

PS, we're searching for a Head of Marketing, message me if interested.

Helping Scale-Ups Build Sustainable Growth Engines

We are excited to announce today that Sourcegraph and Amp are becoming separate companies. I will become Sourcegraph's new CEO.

I joined Sourcegraph a decade ago to help devs deeply understand the largest, most complex codebases in the world. With agents writing 100x more code and running 1000x more searches than humans ever did, the need for this is greater than ever.

Our users today are agents as much as humans, but they face the exact same challenges working in big codebases. If I update this API who is affected? How do I call this library? Does this functionality already exist? Have I updated *all* of the calls to this vulnerable code, or just the ones I know about?

In a large enough codebase, without universal code context, human or agent, you’re blind. 

We believe:
1. Agentic search is the future of code understanding (today, our Deep Search)
2. Every coding agent needs universal code context (today, from our MCP+CLI)
3. The “outer loop” of the software development lifecycle *will* be automated by AI agents with full code understanding
