Sourcegraph went dark

As much as I've have cited, loved, and recommended sourcegraph (even going so far as to help run the open source version at a previous co), I never paid a cent for the product.

I'm curious about the line of thinking in leaving open source behind, but it seems somewhat unsurprising in that lens.

Thanks! We appreciate you. It was really a focus thing. It added a lot of overhead, lost focus, and risk to have stuff be open source. Most customers weren't telling us it was valuable to them, and frankly we heard very little from people who were using our open-source build. (How could we have gotten your input earlier?)

We still have a lot of open-source code, but ultimately we need to focus on building a great product and making money on it. Which we are doing. :-) As Sourcegraph CEO, I obviously wish we could do all the things, but we gotta stay focused on building a great code search/intelligence product.

I would love to contribute and pay, but, as a single personal / private onprem user, it's impossible. It's $49 per user with a 50 user minimum.

Sourcegraph doesn't make it possible to contribute in that circumstance.
