Top 10 Reasons to use ack - Andy Lester's blog

shlomif — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 09:02:00 -0500

ack is a command line utility optimised for searching large codebases. In this blog entry, its author gives several good reasons why one should consider taking a look at it. Among its features: restricting to certain languages, ignoring VCS and other resultant directories and a recursive call by default.

Amazon.com's Codebase Size

shlomif — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 11:26:00 -0400

The comments in the post of this page indicate that Amazon.com has a rapidly changing codebase of 100 Million lines of code (LOCs), a large part of which is written in Perl (which is itself considered very high-level and succinct). The maintenance of the code was so demanding that they needed to change from CVS to Perforce because CVS could not scale to that.
