If you’ve ever opened Chrome DevTools, or optimized a page for Core Web Vitals, you’ve used software built by @addyosmani.bsky.social. We start from when he built a web browser from scratch, at 16, through his 14 years at Google, to what he sees working (and not working) building software with AI:

"The interesting consequence is that the hard part of engineering moved from writing code to deciding whether to trust it, which makes review the most leveraged skill in software right now." More in today's #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social: bit.ly/4oTO571

"We’ve spent the last two years arguing about models. Which one is smartest, which one writes the cleanest React, which one hallucinates less. That conversation is fine as far as it goes, but it’s missing the other half of the system." New #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social: bit.ly/43fulk0

Agent Harness Engineering

A coding agent is the model plus everything you build around it. Harness engineering treats that scaffolding as a real artifact, and it tightens every time the agent slips.

Software is evolving fast. My focus hasn’t changed: helping teams improve performance, UX, and conversion AI generates working code faster than ever… but not optimized for performance That’s where we add value: from “it works” to “it’s excellent” Reading @addyosmani.bsky.social’s new book

A copy of “Web Performance Engineering in the Age of AI” by Addy Osmani placed on a light wooden surface, showing the cover with a greyhound illustration and a clean, minimalist design.

An open book showing Chapter 3 titled “AI-Generated Code and the Performance Paradox,” with printed text discussing how AI-generated code can be functional but not always optimized for performance.

An open book showing Chapter 12 titled “Web Performance Case Studies and Success Stories,” with text describing real-world examples of performance optimization and business impact.

AI users are working longer because, for the first time, our tools can finally keep pace with our imagination. When output is cheap, your greatest leverage isn't how much you build, but the taste to know what is worth building - and the rest required to see the difference.
