Vercel, a cloud platform for web apps, had hundreds of developers migrate off its platform overnight after CEO Guillermo Rauch posted a photo with Israeli PM Netanyahu on Sept 29, 2025, praising their discussions on AI and expressing optimism for Israel.
“Enjoyed my discussion with PM Netanyahu on how AI education and literacy will keep our free societies ahead,” Rauch wrote, while expressing hope for “peace, safety, and greatness for Israel and its neighbors.”
The post quickly racked up nearly five million views. Shortly after, a pattern emerged in online forums and private engineering groups: hundreds of developers were leaving Vercel. Not loudly, not with open letters or coordinated campaigns, but by doing the gritty technical work—reconfiguring deployments, moving DNS records, rewriting files line by line.

I don’t think people realize how fucking smoothbrain incompetent the powerful and wealthy are. I think everyone understands that there is rampant nepotism in this country, but don’t notice the scale of the problem. One of America’s biggest weaknesses is the deference we give to people who have a lot of money, regardless of where that money came from.
These nepobabies will elect a fascist government that eagerly wipes it’s ass with the US constitution, just so they can OwN tHe LiBs on social media. It’s the type of thing that can only come from people who have never faced any kind if hardship or consequences in their lives. Who cannot even imagine that the same constitutional rights they’re trying to trample are protecting them, because they can’t imagine an existence where they need protection.
Fuck these clowns.
