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 isn’t a set of tidy talking points. It’s a tangle—vibe coding, relentless pragmatism, security uncertainty, and at its core, a product builder’s obsession with seeing real pixels on real screens. It’s dazzling, incomplete, accessible, and precarious all at once. No deck, memo, or press release captures it. Shipping as Philosophy Rauch’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
