Agentic engineering at @sourcegraph

Joined November 2011
We fine-tuned a small model to convert natural language into Sourcegraph search queries in under 400 ms. Skip the DSL, just describe what you need.
What's new in Sourcegraph, and no, we're not fooling around. 1/4) Query assist: search code in natural language

Great overview of the wild times we’re living through.
This week we celebrated @OpenClaw Conf in Vienna. 🔥 One thought stuck with me. We're entering a world where custom software is normal. Everyone has their own insta-coder, their own personal appstore. Soon software will exist on the fly, only when you need it. Just for one moment. Then it's gone. Personalized, disposable, one-shot. 🤯 Code can now be autogenerated. So if code is "no longer worth anything" (hyperbole speaking) and you can auto-build any idea into existence (slop gods be kind): What is the future of software development – especially for founders? I made a video on this. Spoilers: we had the working title: "Software Development is f**d" This video is maybe more questions than answers – especially for SaaS founders. But I also cover POVs of mine: Eg why GitHub is obsolete, why open source might actually be dead soon, the Mexican standoff between designers/engineers/PMs, why prompt injection could be bigger than SQL injection, and what I'd actually do as a SaaS founder right now. But there is also a paradox in all of this: Now might be the most exciting time to build software. Ever. 🦾 Thanks as always for watching. Likes, shares, subscribes, goat slaugthering, and any other algo magic you can throw at this: deeply appreciated. Trying to build this YouTube channel up and your support genuinely helps.

It’ll be interesting to see how software engineering collaboration evolves in 2026.
Wrote about software collaboration in the age of AI agents and why I built AgentLogs in the past few weeks. Some quotes: - “GitHub is dying” - “Nobody knows where this is heading” - “It's time to really rethink best practices” spiess.dev/blog/software-col…

This is great, been thinking about the same problem space recently and will open-source my stuff soon: agentlogs.ai
Beep, boop. Come in, rebels. We’ve raised a 60m seed round to build the next developer platform. Open. Scalable. Independent. And we ship our first OSS release today. entire.io/blog/hello-entire-…

Finding the line between "too eager" and "too chill" for Amp's prompt autocomplete. Available behind the setting now: "amp.experimental.promptAutocompleteMode": "word-based"

It's time to give it a try!
We made Amp Free. It's powered by great tokens and tasteful ads. Agentic coding is now free for everyone.

Amp Tab suggestions come in streaks. Now you can actually see them stream in. The footer updates live ("1 more suggestion" → "22 more suggestions") as new ones load behind the scenes. Try it: "amp.tab.experimental.showHotStreakProgress": true

It’s official: the Amp TypeScript SDK is here. I’ve been working on it for the last few weeks now, and it feels amazing to share it with everyone.

Another experiment we're running: Amp Tab "Review" Press Shift+Tab to view the full diff for a chain of suggestions. You can then either "Accept All" changes from the diff (Cmd+Enter) or "Instruct" Amp to make more complex changes through the agent (Cmd+I) Would you use this?
Experimenting with an "Autopilot" mode for Amp Tab. It keeps requesting + accepting suggestions until it's interrupted or runs out of ideas. After the first accept, hit ⌥ + Shift + Tab to hand control over to Autopilot. The very basic demo:

Amp Tab can now propose file‑wide suggestions, far from your cursor. A small, fine‑tuned Tab model runs continuously in the background to anticipate file‑wide edits based on your most recently accepted change — enabling large cursor jumps previously limited to diagnostics errors.

We flipped the switch: Amp Tab is now on by default for new installs. It’s our free completion engine for manual edits in VS Code. It’s fast, knows your recent changes and compiler errors, and suggests cross-file updates when needed. Already on Amp? Run `Enable Amp Tab` from cmd/ctrl+shift+p.

In large files, Amp Tab makes it easy to finish the change you started. It finds the relevant spots, lets you tab through them, and keeps you moving without breaking focus.

Change an interface or call signature? Amp Tab uses diagnostics to suggest fixes across recently viewed files. Press Tab to preview and Tab again to apply, so you can update all references without chasing them down yourself.

Replying to @dedene @ryancarson
Amp Tab is free because it’s too cheap to meter, and all it takes is ~1% of Amp Tab lovers to use the Amp agent for it all to work out, or 1% of Amp agent users to love Amp more. The fixed R&D cost is justified by our paid users, and the marginal cost is low. Amp Tab does not train on your code (unless you explicitly turn on Training Mode).

Amp Tab now shows a compact preview for suggestions with continuous long edits that used to be hidden, and lets you accept them gradually with Tab. Demo: Amp Tab cleanly merges multiple `if`s into a `switch`. Cursor Tab leaves broken code that needs manual cleanup.

We’ve been experimenting with a branded footer on Amp Tab suggestions. At first it only showed on the first few, to make the source clear. Then we made it subtler and kept it always on because it looks neat. We know it won’t land the same for everyone, so we’re open to feedback. These small details shape the flow.

Amp Tab now uses three additional context sources: - Recent Threads: conversation from your active Amp thread. - Recent Copy: latest content you copied from the editor. - Semantic Code Match: relevant snippets from open tabs and recently edited files.

Amp Tab now uses language server diagnostics to suggest follow-up edits that resolve errors introduced by previous edits. This means you can get completions across the entire file, not just in nearby code. It's great for common refactors like changing a function signature.
