Wasmer built a Node.js runtime in 2 weeks using Codex — it normally takes 1 year
wasmer used codex to build edge.js, a node.js runtime for webassembly, in two weeks instead of a year, accelerating development by 10x to 20x.
wasmer leveraged openai's codex to develop edge.js, a product that enables node.js workloads to run in webassembly sandboxes at the edge layer without docker. the startup claims the ai tool accelerated development by 10x to 20x, reducing a project estimated to take one year down to two weeks. engineers utilized codex for the entire lifecycle, from architecture to debugging low-level c++ and assembly bugs that the team lacked expertise to solve quickly. this efficiency allowed the small team to launch a commercially viable product previously deemed impossible due to resource constraints.
