- Developer doodlestein benchmarked FrankenGraphDB, his solo project started in July, against Memgraph (a graph DB company that raised $14M)
- web-google results: WCC 0.85s vs Memgraph's 19.8s; top10 1.4s vs 1.8s; PageRank 3.8s nearing Memgraph's 3.3s (down from 11.2s); countvertices 62ms vs 40ms
- road-ny gains are larger: PageRank 725ms, WCC 146ms, triangles 810ms; every CLI query 1.4-2.5x faster after this pass
- Workflow: had Fable xhigh and Sol Ultra exhaustively review his 1.5MB markdown dev plan before coding, claiming a more innovative architecture will soon win on every axis
- The author stresses he is one guy — a data point for solo devs competing with funded startups via AI-assisted development
