I clicked through to the bio and am super confused. Third person, extremely long, lots of pictures with CEOs and smelling of LLM writing.

Here's a sample:

> His story isn’t just about writing code, but about inspiring a community to strive for a better web. And perhaps the most exciting chapter is still being written, as he helps shape how AI and the web will intersect in the coming decade. 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.

And modest too.

The linked post itself also reeks of LLM writing (negative parallelisms in every other paragraph). But sadly, it seems like this is just the new standard for highly upvoted front page posts.

He led Chrome DevRel for many years - if you were learning about new web platform technologies circa 2010-2015 you probably ran across his writing.

The bio is cringe, but the important thing to realize about these professional-networking bios is that they are sales pitches, intended to sell a person (and specifically, their experience and connections) to a large corporation who will pay them even more money. An ordinary person, with ordinary authentic emotions, is not the intended audience. They're specifically selling to people whose job is to deal with bullshit.

Reading that bio makes you wonder if anyone else works at Google…
