Leading in the era of AI code intelligence (Interview)
from The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source
This week Adam is joined by Quinn Slack, CEO of Sourcegraph for a "2 years later" catch up from his last appearance on Founders Talk. This conversation is a real glimpse into what it takes to be CEO of Sourcegraph in an era when code intelligence is shifting more and more into the AI realm, how they've been driving towards this for years, the subtle human leveling up we're all experiencing, the direction of Sourcegraph as a result — and Quinn also shares his order of operations when it comes to understanding the daily state of their growth.
