Research from Stanford University suggests that AI adoption decreases code quality. The study is ongoing and contains historical git data from 600+ organizations and 120K+ engineers. Shocking? Erm... not really.

I'm looking for account executives to expand our sales team. Preferably in-person in SF, or remote within the Bay Area. Come help us accelerate the adoption of our hybrid code security agents + Autofix™ AI.
Love the term "comprehension debt". In AI-agent-first development, most of the new code doesn't exist as a mental model in anyone's head. Good for moving fast. Bad for actually putting the code in production and maintaining it. Major part of why we're building Autofix Bot.
Interesting UX problem that looms over vertical AI tools: ChatGPT is more free-form and gives the user greater control, and users think that works better than purpose-built tools. The snake is eating its own tail.
DeepSource Agents in Times Square last week. Ship code fearlessly. ✊
We built AI agents for code security and gave them full autonomy. Today, I'm excited to announce DeepSource Agents — autonomous AI agents, purpose-built for securing your code on autopilot. You (and your AI) are writing 10x code, 10x faster. You need code security that scales.
I love these notes from our users more than the added revenue. ❤️
DeepSource has 5,000+ code checkers across 20+ programming languages and configuration technologies, and we've made it easy for you to explore them all. Meet the new DeepSource Directory ✨ 📁 ✨
"DeepSource isn't just a tool for us; it's a catalyst for cultural change in how we approach code quality." Full story from the customer coming soon!
Just sent out the latest batch of DeepSource SCA Early Access invites. Here's what our customers will be able to use right away — that most of the existing tools still don't have:
We've built multi-variate auto-remediation in DeepSource SCA — which is a fancy way of saying instead of recommending "just upgrade the latest," we show all possible upgrade paths when you're fixing a vulnerability. Why it matters: 👇
Context is critical. DeepSource SCA shows call paths for each reachable vulnerability found in your code with enough surrounding information, so you can quickly understand the impact. Why it matters:
Customer success stories like this make all of it worth it. ❤️ Building code quality tools is not about *just static analysis*. It doesn't matter if developers don't fix the issues — the UX is what we've spent a lot of deliberate effort on. That's why people are switching.
Engineering Manager from a $200M+ ARR company. With DeepSource SCA, we'll be a single platform for all source code and third-party dependency scanning. AND IT WILL BE GLORIOUS! ✨
