# Addy Osmani

## Profile
Google Chrome engineering lead and prolific author on web performance, software engineering practices, and the human side of coding work.

## Role in This Source
Credited by [[entity-nate-b-jones]] for **coining the term [[concept-archaeological-programming]]** in 2024 writings on AI code debt. Osmani's framing describes the technical debt created when AI-generated code is accepted and shipped without human review — leaving future developers to excavate and reverse-engineer their own systems.

This term anchors a key portion of [[claim-vibe-coding-debt]] and the warning against pure [[concept-vibe-coding]].
