I’m stunned at the reception this is receiving, it’s LinkedIn-tier slop.

May be because you are not familiar with Addy Osmani and his work. He is known for his very high quality performance optimisation work for web for almost a decade now. So anything he has read, edited and put his stamp of authority on is worth reading.

  • This kind of thinking is how you get cults of personality.

    If he puts his name to this kind of slop, I’ve probably not missed much.

I do not know the guy, and I do not care who he is. This really is not "slop". I can attest to the validity of almost all of his points based on my own career. And even if he used ChatGPT assistance to help with the writing, the content clearly was not invented by ChatGPT. This is valuable advice for people in our industry.

  • You must not have many engineering leaders in your LinkedIn. These are all rote points that are spouted on there daily.
