Supabase initially tasked Steve Chavez with improving Postgres rather than working on Supabase product support, and the founders say this arrangement worked well.

“And the f- the funny thing is we hired Steve, and we said, "Don't worry about Supabase. Just keep building Postgres and just making it awesome."”

“Um, and then obviously if we have support requests or whatever, we can, we can ask him. Yeah. But, um, and the model just worked really well.”
