Very nice. Kind of scary the power of open source and how quickly competitors can spring up these days

Why is this surprising. It's not exactly difficult to build something very like Pinterest.

Most things aren't hard if you're only working at the scale of a single server.

Running the actual Pinterest, with millions of users, would be pretty hard. (At least for those with no prior experience of working at scale.)
