For those interested, I created a gem in Ruby for comparing the similarity of images by computing the dhash of an image and then calculating the Hamming distance between the hashes: https://github.com/rohanpatel2602/rub

Out of curiosity, how did you find investors to sell to for secondaries?

Ruby on Rails out of the box gets a lot of bad rep for being slow and non-performant. Has anyone replaced MRI with JRuby or TruffleRuby to mitigate that? Were there any significant "gotchas" with integrating it?

ActionCable is super easy to use out of the box to get WebSockets running, but it's incredibly non-performant. Anything more than 100 concurrent users took the time taken to a send a message to the socket from milliseconds to seconds.

I'd say it's more use Rails for all of your standard CRUD operations and then use Go as a module in Rails using Quartz/FFI if you have any algorithms that need to be high performance. Of course you could always go down the mi

We had huge performance issues with ActionCable that basically made it unusable for more than 100 concurrent users. We considered EventMachine however ended up going with AnyCable in conjunction with AnyCable-Go which got us up to 1000 conc

It's true that there isn't an official way to use Devise over REST, but then again Devise isn't even the official way to manage auth in Rails apps - it just happens to be the de facto one due to community support. That being

Our founder, Sachin, exited Nivio at a valuation of $100m, and used some of the proceeds to bootstrap Engineer.ai. From my understanding, Nivio was merged into one of the investor's companies. - Disclaimer, I'm a VP E at Engineer.

I'm now seriously considering adding that Prometheus photo to our press kit ;) Jokes aside, my colleague @sachmans has posted a comment above that should hopefully answer your question on how we use AI. As for how we define AI, as an e

Personally, I don't believe anyone will be able to achieve full code synthesis for a very long time. I'm a firm believer that we'll always need engineers in order to code, product managers to help refine customer requirements

Security is definitely a topic we're super concerned about. There's an interesting tradeoff with using re-usable components - that is, if there's a security vulnerability in one component, then all apps using it are affected
