Scouting report
Wrote socket.io and mongoose before founding the company now called Vercel, which maintains Next.js, the most used React framework, and turned preview deployments on every pull request into a baseline expectation rather than a luxury. He is also the clearest example of the open-core tension of his generation: the framework is MIT, the hosting is the business.
Curator’s note
Ships the framework, hosts the framework, and takes the argument about it in public.
