Someone help me understand what I'm missing. It sounds like in this article Steve Yegge is describing a tool like Atlassian Fisheye or grepcode and talking about it like it doesn't exist. These tools are out there. I don't see what's missing.
- rfoo 4y agoI've never tried grepcode before it's gone (not a Java guy), but what I miss most is precise reverse search, i.e. "find all reference", instead of "go to definition". For example, try Chromium code search: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:v8/src/objects/bigint.h;l=207;bpv=1;bpt=1?q=BigInt&ss=chromium%2Fchromium%2Fsrc https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:v8/... Click on the "ToBoolean" function, it brings up all call sites across all Chromium projects.
