his products being genai wrappers, some are partly yes.
in his interview with lex fridman he explains how he built his recent photo ai one, yes most of it is wrapper on some ai service, but his team goes the extra mile of training models on their own so it looks more photorealistic than the generally available ones
he built products before ai like nomadlist and remoteok.
If all you need to do to ship a new feature is add a prompt option in a configuration somewhere, yeah you can ship fast. And, again, all the props for making something that can iterate like that!
I think what I wanted to but failed to convey by being pithy is: For the people out there comparing themselves and think they’re “slow”, they might be trying to solve a problem that can’t be solved with a configuration tweak. It’s ok that it takes more time then.
question: we are using kysely.dev as postgresql query builder and porsager's postgres.js for high performance.. is this something that can complement our stack or something to replace it entirely?
You could use both side-by-side if you prefer query builders for certain tasks, but that means you'll be bundling two Postgres drivers in your application server, which could mean hitting the connection limit of your Postgres instance. Although, pg-nano has a way to limit number of parallel connections at the cost of reduced throughput.
