Code Intelligence next steps
What’s this issue all about?
After we introduce basic features for code intelligence, we'd like to:
- find what features users would like to see next
- find what are the most common languages used on self-managed GitLab instances
Who is the target user of the feature?
Developers who are currently using or would like to use code intelligence. Does not have to be GitLab-native code intelligence.
What questions are you trying to answer?
- find what features users would like to see next
- find what are the most common languages used on self-managed GitLab instances
Additional questions
What hypotheses and/or assumptions do you have?
-
Starting with a focus on popular languages from other surveys (such as Stack Overflow's 2019 dev survey) is a good start.
-
A powerful elasticsearch capability will negate the need to have code search on the code intelligence part.
What decisions will you make based on the research findings?
What's the latest milestone that the research will still be useful to you?
