Every single thread on HN is filled with the same cynicism. It's getting boring and I consider myself to be a cynic.

What are you even complaining about in this comment? You are complaining that you can't learn what a company does in a single sentence? Or are you claiming that vercel is a bullshit company (because it isn't)

Also, if you scroll down just a little bit in that page you learn exactly what vercel does.
