Shipping, Taste, and the Future of Code: Lessons from Guillermo Rauch Sit with Guillermo Rauch, CEO of Vercel, on an episode of Uncapped, and what starts as a conversation about code generation quickly becomes something messier, more alive, and far more revealing. The future isnโ€™t a set of tidy talking points. Itโ€™s a tangleโ€”vibe coding, relentless pragmatism, security uncertainty, and at its core, a product builderโ€™s obsession with seeing real pixels on real screens. Itโ€™s dazzling, incomplete, accessible, and precarious all at once. No deck, memo, or press release captures it. Shipping as Philosophy Rauchโ€™s story moves through the muscle memory of modern web development: self-taught in Argentina, open-source pioneer with Socket.io and Next.js, CTO stints, product exits, and now Vercel, powering everyone from Porsche and Notion to the next kid hacking a side project at 2 a.m. The pulse that ties it together? Velocity and visual feedback. Read full essay on https://www.vishnudileesh.com/essays/shipping-pixels-building-taste-guillermo-rauch-on-the-future-of-code

Mastery in code was once syntax. Now itโ€™s taste: knowing what to build, and why.
