Codemod Grep is on HN: Structural code search, powered by ast-grep
news.ycombinator.com/item?id=494012…

if you build a NEAT ast-grep YAML rule that finds something interesting in the ~1000 repos we’ve indexed so far, share the URL and we might feature it in the first-page examples!

we would love to hear your feedback! DM open.

How cool and awesome that we have a title like Chief Design Officer for the US government. Co-founder of Airbnb & Samsara! Much needed.

One of the killer use cases for @codemod’s OSS toolkit is design system migration and modernization. We’ve had around 3M codemod runs and counting across the web ecosystem and beyond, and I really hope we can be helpful with the website overhaul initiatives led by @jgebbia.

If you know the tech leads for these initiatives, please let me know. Would love to contribute.

The nation owes a debt to @JGebbia and his excellent team. They worked incredibly hard, with no compensation, to make government services work better for all Americans.

you can mine your code with Jev. you can also mine it with ast-grep. but when should you use which?

some thoughts, with a real case study:
codemod.com/blog/semantic-…

codemod.com Non-Deterministic Discovery, Deterministic Enforcement: AI vs. Static Analysis for Performance... Only 15% of actionable findings overlapped when we ran AST miners and Jev Smart Insights on the same codebase. Here's when to use each.
