[Vercel Hires Rich Harris, Creator of Svelte](https://vercel.com/blog/vercel-welcomes-rich-harris-creator-of-svelte) — ‘Person gets job’ isn’t the most obviously interesting story out there, but when it’s the creator of [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/) (and someone who has [▶️ lots of great insights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=860d8usGC0o) on how webapps should be built) joining a platform that will enable him to focus even more strongly on the project, it’s exciting as [Rich himself says.](https://twitter.com/Rich_Harris/status/1458822051263823875)
