I must be honest, I had to Google who Vercel are because that blog post didn't make it clear at all. They should have just started with name dropping nextjs

If you're -old- enough you would remember they started out as zeit (zero in rauchg's german)

  Zeit means Time in german. Not sure about rauchg's german though...

      You might know zeitgeist - spirit of the times - which is literally time ghost in German. Or the newspaper Zeit which is literally The Times.

    Hahaha, I remember now, the good ol' days of experimenting with it and prisma 1 which was more docker based I think? When I had to update any really old nextjs/now projects that was a bit of a pain, you had custom runtimes and whatnot in now which was cool
