“There are different coding standards being applied in different places by different agents across the codebase. There's duplicated code proliferating. You you already have a library that does this, but your agent doesn't know that.”

Take

Adler’s point is about enterprises with tens of thousands of repositories, far too much code for an agent to fit in context or grep in real time. Sourcegraph’s answer is a code graph and search layer that agents can query across every repo, plus batch changes that roll a fix out to thousands of repos at once.
