Episode Summary
At the start of his career, Guillermo taught himself Javascript which led him to receive international job offers at the age of 17. He quickly realized that his true passion was in building companies, more specifically creating tools that increase productivity for developers.
Guillermo chose to focus on Javascript due the web apps that were developed by Google and Amazon and how they transformed both the user and the developer experience. Having the ability to peel back and look at how popular web apps work inspired him to share the way these apps work with others – which is how Vercel came to be.
