Dev Hoopla:

Slowing Down

• Is there a difference between expertise, comfort, and laziness?
• What if the new hotness looks downright cold?
• Do you have to follow the trends to be a current dev? Is there really such a thing as stagnation?

— Claim Before the I/O —

• I don’t think this IO will be about devices.

• So I’m really curious after this Google bash fest at the end ( 🙂 ), is Apple or Microsoft any better?

• Google’s states of play

In Washington, Google is already a political behemoth. The tech giant spent more than $3.8 million to lobby federal lawmakers on privacy, patent and immigration reforms just in the first quarter of 2014, according to federal records. So far in the 2014 election cycle, the company also has donated $1.1 million to federal candidates.
