Vercel CEO Rauch: great products still demand extraordinary focus and love
santiviquez · x · 2026-11-12
Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch (rauchg) posted that creating wonderful products still requires extraordinary amounts of human focus, effort, motivation, love, and an attention span. An excerpt he shared elaborates: building great products demands a strong point of view that lets you understand the problem from a perspective no one else has; once solutions are discovered, competitors copy them instantly, so only those who obsess — and can draw from diverse environments and their own true point of view — stay two steps ahead.
