Sourcegraph Cody
skipAI coding assistant with deep code-search context from Sourcegraph.
journal entry · observed by @whysanesanders · verified 2026-08-15
Code-search-aware context was a real edge, but Sourcegraph's attention moved to Amp and Cody's release cadence shows it. New adopters should pick a tool that is clearly its maker's priority.
Known limitations
- Development focus shifted to Amp; Cody feels maintenance-mode.
- Free tier heavily restricted.
- Agentic features trail the category leaders.
