Paul is good people. He leads Chrome's DevRel team. I was on that team from June 2015 to June 2021. Browser DevRel can be messy stuff. You're perpetually trying to advocate for your browser's vision of the web while also maintaining respectful, collaborative relations with the other browsers. The tricky part is that they often have a different vision for the web. This holds true no matter which browser you're rooting for. IMO that is the fundamental cause of all these conflicts that occasionally bubble up between Chrome/Safari/Firefox. The bright side is that the web appears to still be a functioning, open ecosystem (in that different parties are competing to take the web in different directions). Case in point you don't often see posts like this about the Android/iOS ecosystem making it to the front page of HN. Conflict is healthy albeit exhausting.
