Yes (that's noted in the gist). But the end result's the same, instead of writing AUTOINCREMENT you write SERIAL. That's about it, the only issue may happen if you drop the table (the sequence will not be dropped, not a huge issue in practice)

Did you notice any differences in performance?

Edit: I'm not saying there are, but it feels like there might be some repercussions when you take the underlying implementation into account. It would be interesting to know if someone conducted comparative tests about this.
