  • Not really. The point is not to search for something specific, but rather get a bigger context for the thing you’re trying to understand. AI tools will take your prompt and create keywords to grep the codebase, then analyze the results and give you an overview.

    It’s not “find x” and then the AI just does “grep x”. It’s more like “where do susbcribed users get redirected when logging with Google OAuth” and the AI does “grep google|oauth|isSubscriber” and from the 100s of results give you an overview of specific lines of code which are responsible for that chain of events.

    I could definitely do that myself (and have, for many years), but this is just faster and easier.





  • Yeah, I figured this out as a teenager. We had a half-marathon through rough terrain (gravel, sand, tree roots etc.). I had my 200€ bike from Facebook and a sports t-shirt from school. I felt very out of place with all these big men in their tight spandex suits and decked out bikes.

    I passed most of them and finished 13th out of 130 (which is not amazing, but definitely not bad).
