Published on Sep 2, 2014

Speed is at the core of technology evolution. The need for speed, or at the very least the perception of speed, spells the success of today’s technologies. Staying ahead of the curve and providing a quality experience are critical for the industry as a whole. We’ll learn where realtime is heading for both developers and users.

Guillermo Rauch (@rauchg) is the founder of LeanBoost and Cloudup, acquired by Wordpress.com in 2013. He was early in the Node.js space, is the creator of socket.io, mongoose and author of the best-selling Node.js book, Smashing Node.js: JavaScript Everywhere.

Vercel's Guillermo Rauch on AI and the Future of Coding - Ep. 47

Feb 5, 2025

Guillermo Rauch is one of the most prolific coders of this generation. But he doesn’t think of himself as a coder anymore. Coding, he says, is a specific skill that AI is becoming great at. Instead, he thinks the future of coding is more holistic, full-stack engineers who can ideate, design, and execute all together. Guillermo is the founder and CEO of Vercel, the creator of NextJS, and SocketIO. We spent an hour talking about the future of software development in an AI world—and the meta-skills that are essential for the coders of today to master—in order to use tomorrow’s tools to their fullest extent.

AI Without Borders Ep. 18 | The Self-Driving Agentic Infrastructure with Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch

Jan 15, 2026

In this episode of AI Without Borders, we sit down with Guillermo Rauch, founder and CEO of Vercel. Guillermo shares how Vercel is evolving from a hosting platform into an intelligent, autonomous system that detects anomalies, proposes fixes, and increasingly heals itself.

We dive into how AI agents already run parts of Vercel in production, why sandboxes will redefine compute, and what happens when billions of agents, not humans, begin writing, testing, and deploying software. Guillermo also explains why agent ergonomics will reshape developer tools, the rise of personal software, and how companies should rethink buy versus build in an AI native world.

This episode is packed with insights on infrastructure, agents, generative UI, and the future of work.
