3 statements about Grep, every show
Yan: Agent VM grep is slow due to S3-backed network file systems
“A lot of these virtual machines actually underlying them don't use real file systems. They use these like network file systems where things are actually cached over the network actually in S three. So when you're grepping, you're actually making network calls …”
Chen: Codex performs better when search tools are named 'rg' over 'grep'
“So if you call it grep, it actually does a little bit Worse. But if you call it RG, it actually does really well.”
Martin: Claude Code operates entirely without codebase indexing
“Clock code doesn't do any indexing. It's just doing, quote unquote, agentic retrieval, just using simple tool calls, for example, using grep, to kind of poke around your files, no indexing whatsoever, and obviously works extremely well.”
