He recently directed Google's Cloud AI and Gemini.
Jus learned that @addyosmani left Google?!
What a miss, Addy has been and remains a devrel icon of mine since before I moved to the US!
I really really hope it had nothing to do with the workspace CLI tweet and its backlash
Good luck Addy, can't wait to see what you do next!
No Digg Deeper questions have been answered for this story yet.
@altryne Thanks for the kind words, Alex! My leaving was unrelated but looking forward to whats next :)
@suchenzang @yacineMTB @JPoehnelt I think not anymore?
@yacineMTB @JPoehnelt a director announced it tho:
@giffmana @yacineMTB @JPoehnelt lasted past IO tho!

@altryne @addyosmani The best exits are when you leave behind friction, not just a company; excited to see what tooling @addyosmani builds next.
@addyosmani @altryne its a big loss for google - best of luck for the future addy.
@addyosmani @altryne Good to meet you briefly at Microsoft build, wishing you the best in whatever you work on next!
@altryne @addyosmani Another anthropic hire incoming?
@addyosmani @altryne wow " you can edit a bad page, but cant edit a blank page" - so profound.
@altryne @addyosmani hope the CLI thing wasn't why. that backlash was weak tbh
@altryne @addyosmani Wait wat Wicked, in my mind he blended with Google 😅 Anyhow, interesting where we will see him next (and don't tell me he is going to anthropic 🤣)
@altryne @addyosmani 14 years at one place is wild. Gotta respect knowing when its time for the next chapter
@addyosmani @altryne huge loss for Google. all the best, Addy!
@addyosmani @altryne Legendary run. Community icon who set the bar way too high for the rest of us :)
@altryne @addyosmani respect addy big time
wait did the workspace cli actually contribute? always wondered how deep that blew up
@addyosmani @altryne All the best. please keep posting articles on x 🙏
@ShinkaIoT @altryne @addyosmani Another example of lame ai slop. Makes Zero sense.
