Yesterday we put out a blog post that I co-authored with Dan Goslen from Vouch Insurance (YC S19). Dan is a staff-level engineer with over a decade of experience, and quite literally wrote the book on code reviews. In this post we discussed what code reviews are, what they should be, and where AI fits in. While our full-codebase-context-aware code review bot is our most popular product, our stance at Greptile continues to emphasize the criticality of human code reviews, and this post goes into great detail on why that is. Tl;dr 👉 Code reviews aren't just QA, they are oppurtunities for mentorship 👉 It is one of the few truly collaborative parts of the software dev lifecycle and should be preserved 👉 Great engineers are "clairvoyant" and can place PRs in context of the teams roadmap quarters ahead, and have critical context of quarters past. Today, this is impossible to replicate. Link in comments for those interested to read more!

Recently Rajit Khanna and I sat down with Julianna Lamb, co-founder and CTO of Stytch to talk about authentication! Auth can be a daunting topic for developers of all skill levels. Julianna is a world-class expert on the topic, and as I discovered during this conversation, she is also fantastic at explaining these complex topics in simple ways. We covered everything from AuthZ vs. AuthN, passwords, passwordless login, the problem with 2FA, and even elementary questions, like, what is *actually* wrong with putting user passwords in a DB. I highly recommend listening to this episode if you're curious about authentication!

Over the last few months, we at Greptile have been investing more time into our interview process for hiring engineers. My favorite step in the interview is our take home project - we ask candidates to build *anything* on top of Greptile's API. This step answers a few questions for us: 💡 Can you determine useful vs. non-useful? 💡 Can you empathize with developers as users and solve a problem for them? 💡 Can you build a product from scratch? 💡 Is there any evidence of attention to detail or "taste" When I was applying for jobs year ago, certain companies had genuinely enjoyable interview challenges. That's one of the reasons ours is so open-ended. We're asking candidates for a meaningful amount of their time, the least we can do is make it fun!

Excited to announce our partnership with StorybookJS! Storybook is the industry standard workshop for building, documenting, and testing UI components in isolation. Thousands of developers contribute to Storybook, and for the last few weeks Greptile has been reviewing 100% of pull requests made on their open source repo. If you're interested in learning more or bringing Greptile to your org, my DMs are open!

On technical writing.
If you're wondering if blogs are a good growth statergy - within 48 hours of writing this post: ✨ it got on the front page of hackernews ✨ drove 10,000 visitors to our site ✨ led to 5 demos booked with Fortune 500, 1 with an Fortune 10. Writing the type of technical content that YOU would like to read helps you connect with exactly the types of users you want to serve, plus if you're like me and enjoy writing, it barely feels like work!

New blog post!
🚨 New blog post on codebase semantic search! 🚨 A problem we spend a lot of time on at Greptile is finding ways to semantically search large codebases. The Cmd+F search in your editor is exact-search - you have to name the file or symbol you are looking for. Imagine if you could search semantically - your search query is a few words about the functionality you're looking for, like "code that handles refresh tokens", and you are able to identify exactly where in the codebase that code is. In this blog post, I talk about why that's specifically hard to do with codebases, and things that have worked well for us at Greptile.
