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.

Tldr: the idea of it being used to attack the UN is total fear mongering. They were probably just sending spam

From Tom Scott's newsletter:

A lovely video from the design rules company: they launched a Kickstarter project, "Metroboard", and they visited Shenzen for a week to see the factories where it's being made. This video is ten minutes long, and the narration is calm and gentle, but the whole thing feels like it's going at breakneck speed: there is so much involved, and so much craft being shown. Thanks to Sebastian for sending this over!
