In a Spanish‑language interview, Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch discusses the massive scale of Vercel (20 million accounts, 100 000+ paying teams) and reflects on what the future holds for professional software developers in an AI‑first world. He argues that the best engineers are artists, likening them to Leonardo da Vinci, and stresses the importance of accumulating a broad set of skills (full‑stack, design, infrastructure, AI tooling) rather than deep specialization. Rauch explains Vercel’s AI‑driven products such as v0, the AI SDK, and the Workflow SDK, showing how they lower infrastructure friction and let developers act as “orchestrators of skills”. He outlines his hiring framework (EGI: intelligence, grindset, integrity) and the three‑part model of intelligence (cognitive core, research ability, knowledge). The conversation also covers the role of large‑foundation models, the problem of “taste” being delegated to machines, the impact of ChatGPT as a major traffic source, and the cultural shift toward rapid, tweet‑driven feedback loops. Rauch shares anecdotes about Next.js Conf, the influence of Midjourney on v0’s design, and the importance of acceleration over raw speed. He addresses concerns about Latin American talent, arguing that new abstraction layers enable regional innovators to create world‑class products despite limited English proficiency. Finally, he discusses the future of SaaS versus AI‑generated applications, the emergence of specialized agents for domains like law, finance, and construction, and the need for AI‑augmented cloud infrastructure that can self‑repair.
