What do you like best about the product?

I like Sourcegraph's ability to directly integrate code into the editor. As a student and someone keen on improving my coding skills, it allows for rapid searching across my entire codebase, which helps me speed up my development process. It also helps me understand the code which not only enhances my skills but also helps me prepare for future interview processes. Sourcegraph reduces context-switching and helps maintain focus.

What do you dislike about the product?

While Sourcegraph offers powerful features, there might be a learning curve associated with fully utilizing all its capabilities. Depending on the size of the codebase and the complexity of the project, there could potentially be performance issues or slow search times. Additionally, the integration process with existing workflows and tools might require some initial setup and configuration, which could be time-consuming for teams.

Sourcegraph is still in its learning and improving phase and once its full utilization ability is unlocked, it can be a game-changer. There is a potential performance issue which is an extremely large codebase. The initial step can be challenging for a newbie.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

For me finding specific implementations, usages, or definitions in large Java codebases usually takes time. Sourcegraph's excellent search tools enable me to swiftly browse complex Java projects, locating classes, methods, and references across different repositories.
