Reviewer scorecard
“One-line integration via proxy is genius. Change your base URL and instantly get logging, caching, and rate limiting.”
“Universal code search across repos is a superpower for large orgs. Cody AI assistant with full codebase context is excellent.”

“If you have more than 10 repos, Sourcegraph pays for itself in developer time saved on code navigation.”
“As AI costs become a significant line item, observability and optimization tools like Helicone become essential.”
“AI-powered code understanding at scale is the foundation for the next generation of developer tools.”
