Every VC had a reason Vercel shouldn't exist. Guillermo Rauch heard a different reason from every investor he spoke to when building Vercel, and he kept going anyway. He joined us live at Mercury HQ in SF for Founders in Arms, and this was one of the sharpest moments...

Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch: the era of the IC is over. Every person at Vercel acts like a CEO of their own company, and that's by design. Inspired me to ask myself: where am I waiting for permission I could just take?

My favourite part from mine and Amy Egan's discussion with Guillermo Rauch in today's Vercel Community session was the introduction of the term "anti-fragile infrastructure". “AI is imperfect, probabilistic, stochastic which means AI will make mistakes. The future of infrastructure is about how we recover when things go wrong.” He explained how Vercel enables this resilience with instant global rollbacks in 300–500ms. This gives teams the confidence to experiment, move faster, and recover instantly if needed. Imagine a future where swarms of AI agents operate in an environment that is not just resilient, but anti-fragile: learning, adapting, and evolving with every deployment. Thank you to everyone that joined us live! 🖤 You can watch the full AMA and our library of Community Sessions over at:

I built a “Ghibli” Anime generator using OpenAI’s new image model with v0 on Vercel and Stripe in 2 hours. Here’s the good, the bad, and “could be improved” 🧵(Did Guillermo Rauch and team cook?)

Vibe coded a mac app using @GlazeApp at @Raycast x @Vercel Builders Night (see demo in video) Shipped something I’ll actually use, met Thomas Paul Mann & Pedro Duarte irl, bumped into Guillermo Rauch, and got reminded that SF is still ridiculously dense with people building the internet!

We spoke to the CEO of Vercel (Guillermo Rauch) about the future of vibe coding in enterprises: "The most surprising emergent thing I've learned is just how much demand there is in enterprises for vibe coding. It's bridging the gap between business and engineering." "Even the CEO of a successful company told me that it felt like asking for a feature from his own engineers was like petitioning the government." "Vibe coding solves that problem. All of the non-technical employees weren't able to ship software, and now they can."

🚨 "May we both remember that the most important conversation we're going to have today and every day is with the author of our story and the one who promises to be close to us when we're brokenhearted, and He save us when we're crushed in spirit," Matthew West told me. "That peace you heard Ben Sasse sharing about is a peace he has discovered because he knows who is with him in his darkest moments." Saturday in America ⬇️

Frost: I think part of the reason we’re even in this war with Iran is that he’s looking for anything he can do to shift attention away from the fact that not only is he in the Epstein files, but he’s in them a lot, and he had a very close relationship with Epstein. He’s engaged in one of the greatest cover-ups we’ve ever seen from a president.

It boils down to this concept of signal-to-noise ratio. Steve was not a nice guy, but he was myopically focused on his business in an almost perverse way. He worked 18 hours a day. And I've started to realize that he didn't let anything get in the way of whatever tasks he had to achieve in that 18-hour period. Not a long vision for the year, not for the month, for that day. He didn't let anything get in the way of the four or five things he was going to get done that day. Elon Musk is 100% signal, zero noise. I've seen him walk away from a conversation the minute he realized that there was no useful information in it. But look at what he's achieved. So, what I've learned is you have to figure out how much noise in the day are you gonna actually let distract you from the goals you have to achieve that day.
