+**Enterprises Can Now Use Sourcegraph to Automate Large-Scale Code Changes**
+
+**SAN FRANCISCO — March 24, 2021 —** [Sourcegraph](https://about.sourcegraph.com), the leader in Universal Code Search, today announced [Batch Changes](https://about.sourcegraph.com/batch-changes/), a solution that allows enterprises to automate and track large-scale code changes across all repositories and code hosts.
+
+In the same way that Big Data has disrupted data teams, Big Code is creating hurdles for enterprise engineering teams who struggle to navigate and make changes across increasingly large and complex codebases. Last year, over 800K developers used Sourcegraph to search and understand all of their code. With Batch Changes, enterprises can now automate large-scale code refactors, security fixes, and migrations across thousands of repositories.
+
+## Development Velocity: An Enterprise Priority
+
+In a recent [Analyst Day event](https://s22.q4cdn.com/826641620/files/doc_downloads/2021/02/Twitter-Analyst-Day-2021-Transcript.pdf), Twitter executives linked development velocity directly to pace of innovation and shared a plan to “double our development velocity by the end of 2023, resulting in doubling the number of features per employee that directly drive either mDAU or revenue.” A [McKinsey](https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-telecommunications/our-insights/developer-velocity-how-software-excellence-fuels-business-performance) study found that enterprises with high development velocity see greater shareholder returns, customer satisfaction, and employee retention. Best-in-class tools were identified as the top contributor to development velocity.
+
+To accelerate developer productivity and overcome the challenges of Big Code, some tech giants like [Google](https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2016/7/204032-why-google-stores-billions-of-lines-of-code-in-a-single-repository/fulltext) developed internal proprietary tools to automate up to 70 percent of code changes. However, most enterprises lack the technology they need to make large-scale code changes and instead resort to manually creating and tracking thousands of pull requests.
+
+“The sheer amount of code most enterprises have creates a massive drag on development velocity,” said Quinn Slack, co-founder and CEO of Sourcegraph. “When the developer experience is slow and painful, the pace of product development lags and the entire business suffers. Batch Changes closes the productivity gap by empowering enterprises to easily keep code up-to-date and pay down tech debt across every business unit, repository, and code host the company uses.”
+
+## Automate and Track Large-Scale Code Changes
+
+Batch Changes provides developers with a declarative structure for finding and modifying code across thousands of repositories, and features a simple UI to help enterprises manage the resulting changesets through checks and code reviews, so they can be confident each change is merged.
+
+By automating large-scale code changes, enterprises can:
+
+- Reduce the time it takes to make large-scale code changes by 80%
+- Increase speed and accuracy while reducing the risk of introducing breaking changes
+- Improve code quality throughout the organization by reducing the risk of bugs or bad code making it to production
+
+Instead of manually managing thousands of pull requests to remove legacy code, fixing critical security issues, or updating dependencies, enterprises can now automate large-scale code changes with Batch Changes. With today’s launch, enterprises can more effectively mitigate the challenges associated with Big Code, improve development velocity, and innovate faster.

+**Survey Shows 94% of Software Development Professionals Affected By Big Code**
+
+SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- [Sourcegraph](https://about.sourcegraph.com), the leader in Universal Code Search, today released new data identifying the emergence of Big Code, and highlighting the unique problems it poses for development teams across all industries. Similar to how Big Data has disrupted data teams, Big Code is creating new hurdles for development teams as code rapidly grows in four major ways.
+
+- **Volume.** There have been exponential increases in the amount of code being created.
+- **Variety.** The complexity of the languages, tools, and processes used for delivering software continue to multiply.
+- **Velocity.** Accelerated delivery cycles mean code is changing faster than ever, and being shipped virtually every day.
+- **Value.** The reimagination of business models and practices through high-quality software has greatly increased the value of code within the enterprise.
+
+The survey, conducted by [Dimensional Research](https://dimensionalresearch.com/), polled over 500 software development professionals across North America. The data gathered serves to quantify Big Code’s complexity, understand its real impact on development and business outcomes, and identify what needs to be done so enterprises can succeed.
+
+“Today’s massive codebases make it difficult for developers to discover, understand, and fix code because of the significant increase in its volume and complexity,” said Quinn Slack, co-founder and CEO of Sourcegraph. “It’s for this reason that Big Code is often compared to Big Data—both have the potential to disrupt teams, decrease productivity and quality, and make it harder for enterprises to stay competitive. Code shows no signs of slowing down, so it’s critical that developers have tools that empower them to navigate the challenges associated with Big Code.”
+
+## Key survey findings include
+
+The volume, variety, velocity, and value of code are increasing
+
+- 94% of respondents report they are affected by Big Code
+- 51% have more than 100 times the volume of code they had ten years ago
+- More than 60% report a significant increase in a number of different development dimensions including architecture, supported devices, use of open source, and number of platforms
+- 92% say the pressure to release software faster has increased in the past ten years
+- 90% report that the software their teams deliver has become more critical
+
+Big Code is creating big problems
+
+- Challenges include less time for new hires to be productive (62%), code breaking due to a lack of understanding of dependencies (57%), and difficulties managing changes to code (50%)
+- 99% report that Big Code has a direct impact on the business outcomes of software development efforts
+- 74% report that their teams avoid updating code due to fear of code changes breaking dependencies
+
+Development teams need new tools to tackle Big Code
+
+- 85% agree that existing tools were not designed for the era of Big Code
+- 99% would benefit from additional capabilities for searching enterprise code

+**Just in time for national Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, the book introduces kids to basic concepts of software development in a way that is fun and educational**
+
+SAN FRANCISCO, April 23, 2020 — [Sourcegraph](https://about.sourcegraph.com/), the leader in Universal Code Search, today announced the release of a digital children’s book titled [Our ABCs: Always Be Coding](https://about.sourcegraph.com/resources/abcs-book/). With most people working from home during national Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, the book provides a unique opportunity for software developers to teach their children about their work. Developers with young children know the struggle of keeping kids busy and learning during this time, but could be running out of ways to do so. Our ABCs: Always Be Coding is a fun way to keep kids engaged while teaching them the core concepts of software development.
+
+"Dinosaurs, llamas, and dump trucks are cool—but so is coding," said Quinn Slack, CEO and co-founder of Sourcegraph. "We love software development and wrote this book as a fun way to share our passion for coding with our kids, so they know what we're doing all day working on the computer."
+
+Sourcegraph provides Universal Code Search, which enables developers to explore and better understand all code, everywhere, faster. The solution improves developer productivity with code navigation and contextual code intelligence. Due to rapidly growing codebases, proliferating numbers of repositories, multiple languages and file formats, and a wide variety of developer tools, now more than ever developers need a single place to quickly explore and better understand all code, faster.
+
+Coding doesn’t have to be as complex as the solution Sourcegraph offers, however. It can be as simple as 'A is for App,' 'B is for Binary,' and 'C is for Code'.

+— Kenslie, age 11
+
+"I like U for URL because of the Unicorn. The pictures are really nice. M is for memory is a fun game I play with my mom."
+— Emily, age 5
+
+"Woww, Mama! This work?"
+— Skye, age 2
