Augment Code’s Post

Thrilled to announce a major step forward in our mission to advance open source development: Augment Code is now free for open source contributors and maintainers. What excites me most about this initiative is how it addresses two fundamental challenges in open source:  1. The steep learning curve for new contributors trying to understand large codebases  2. The time-intensive back-and-forth between maintainers and contributors on PRs We've seen remarkable results already. Jonathan Ellis, Apache Cassandra committer and DataStax CTO, reports a 50% hit rate in understanding Cassandra's complex codebase using Augment - a breakthrough for developer productivity in large-scale open source projects. What makes this different? Full access to Augment's capabilities - no rate limits, no outdated models. Contributors get comprehensive codebase understanding and intelligent suggestions that align with project patterns and practices. This means faster onboarding, more meaningful contributions, and less review friction. Sign up at augmentcode.com/opensource. Happy Holidays!
