What Hacker News says

We generate the pages dynamically. When code gets pushed to a repository indexed by Sourcegraph, we re-analyze it, which means that the location of definitions/references changes and the stats about who uses what change, too. This happens fairly often, so it's easier just to generate pages dynamically. If you want to get an idea of our site architecture, you can check out https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/thesrc. (It's a link aggregation site (thesrc.org) that pulls from HN, Reddit, and a few other places and only displays links with programming-related content.) We made it to share some patterns we found useful for building a web app in Go, and the interfaces and structure mirror how Sourcegraph.com is designed. There's also a talk here if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zYXhhrRn2E.
