Lucas and Luna dive into the story of Sourcegraph, a startup that built a universal code search engine for developers. They explore how CEO Quinn Slack convinced venture capitalists that code search was a billion-dollar problem, the company's open-source roots, and its controversial move to a paid product for large enterprises. Specific numbers include the $2.6 billion valuation in 2021, the shift from 100% free to a usage-based model, and how Sourcegraph now indexes over a trillion lines of code. The episode also touches on the debate around developer tools as a business, and the company's decision to stay independent after acquisition offers from major tech platforms.
