Ghostty creator joins Vercel's Board of Directors

Don't really know what to think about this. I have only been following Mitchell for a couple of months, and knowing him only from his tweets, this is a weird timing for him to join a weird company.

For each their own, I guess.

Very disappointing honestly. Vercel's leadership has shown itself to be aligned with some murderous characters.

Despite the fact I have contributed only a small number of PRs and bug reports to Ghostty, and I don't think my absence would be notable to the maintainers, I still feel compelled to boycott the product unless Mitchell clarifies his stance on Vercel's alignment with the Israeli government.

I'd always hoped that Mitchell would be the odd exception to the disagreeable politics of the billionaire class. I'd previously hoped his ongoing association with DHH (and his abhorrent views[1]) was just a result of prior friendship and not an indication that he'd aligned himself with the ruling class. Alas, this is certainly not a good look.
