It isn't just that he made a killing — Osmani helped conceive a broader vision of blogging as a fusion of human in the center writing and AI agents.

Or to say it in his own words: "Few individuals have done as much to push the web forward while uplifting its developers, and that legacy will be felt for a long time to come." source: https://addyosmani.com/bio/

it's a bit weird to talk about yourselves in third person

Oh my god. I have never seen an about/bio page even half as gross and cringey as this. It's so obscene that it reads like a parody

> Colleagues often remark on Osmani’s humility

LOL! Who writes these things about themselves with a straight face?!

It also shows that taking credit for others' work is 100% his MO.

> Osmani’s team created Workbox, a set of libraries for generating service worker scripts that handle caching and offline functionality with minimal fuss. Workbox simplified what used to be a complex task of writing low-level code to intercept network requests.

No, Jeff Posnick (who I suppose technically was on addy's team) created workbox and it has been basically abandonned since he left Google.

I have to assume the rest of the bio, and his career, has been built off of usurping credit. He always rubbed me the wrong way, and this vindicates that sense.

What a psychopath!

yes, the legacy of polluting the internet with unlimited "AI" slop to the point it became useless
