Worked at Netscape
Created JavaScript

Created JavaScript in 10 days (May 1995) at Netscape — Scheme's functions, Self's prototypes, Java's syntax, marketing's name — and became the most-deployed language's accidental father.\n\nCo-founded Mozilla and Brave; the 10-day origin story is his and the language's blessing and curse.
