I was Addy's manager when he was on Developer Relations.

He moved to an engineering manager role on Chrome DevTools many years ago and has recently just moved on to a different team. I don't think it's fair at all to say he's not a developer working on a product shipped to users when he led one of our most used developer tools, as well as worked on many of our developer libraries prior to moving to the Engineering manager role.

Yeah, maybe I should have been more precise, I meant "end users like your mom" rather than "not real users". Developing for developers, in a engineering-heavy team is obviously different than the typical product-development team.
