Readit NewsDave does some simple back of the napkin calculations in this video to pull apart the claims of [reflectorbital](https://www.reflectorbital.com/)
I am just sitting here amazed that this idea got past the idea-stage for the startup.
I was entertained by the video - I think you might be too.
In enterprise companies like the one I recently left, management is incentivized to kiss up try and do more with less, but wants more people to buttress their role as well as help determine the role above them. My prior boss in this same organization had multiple teams but rather than have the teams talk about their work insisted on being the one to present upward and rarely invited his teams to join.

The author of the above book has a good talk on the same topic here

The book itself is well referenced with footnotes and an appendix with extra research papers etc.
Either try to package it or use a docker image or maybe raise an issue noting the blocker and request it as a feature for some changes to give an easier path for to having it build more easily for NixOS
Apart from that, as expected, the docker image that is produced following the instructions is working fine with NixOS as host. All it needed for the build was the openssl packaged on the host.
With Cody you can create embeddings for your entire repo, so Cody will have much greater context about your code base and the problems you're trying to solve.
Disclaimer: I just joined Sourcegraph a few weeks ago.
With that said, they have recently changed the architecture, with the local install required, and I have not managed (yet) to get it working with NixOS. Once I have some more time, I will try again - it looks like there will be some hoops to go through. https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#ssec-pkgs-appimageT...
Kudos to the Source Graph team, Source Graph's original product was nicely thought out and ahead of it's time. Nice to see how the original product gave a nice basis for building out Cody.
This guide I feel like falls more into the former, it gives you a really basic example but isn’t enough to go off for me.
I found a set of tutorials on YouTube by Will, to be incredibly helpful at the beginning of my NixOS journey. Even though these tutorials are a couple of years old, they should have aged well.
Drake's book, should help confirm some assumptions I've made about how NixOS works. Given NixOS's declarative nature, I find it easy to copy configurations to do what I want - a handy approach when pressed for time, but it does leave some gaps in understanding that need to be filled.
You can find the tutorials I mentioned at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-saUBvIJzOkjAw_vOac7...
The tutorials are easy to understand and have good explanations
I do have strong memories of OOXML and the scandals that were with it when it became a standard through MS allegedly buying/stacking/influencing votes:
