The people at WWDC used to be cool. The last couple of years they've been drowned out by masses of people trying to cash in on iOS fads.
A lot of companies didn't even send their programmers last year—they sent their managers instead. The idiot managers don't even know WTF is going on. These people aren't worth talking to.

- gyardley 16y agoWitnessing a Steve Jobs keynote in person appeals to a lot more people than chatting at one of Apple's developer labs. That plus the usual large-company conference boondoggle explains why WWDC has a lot of non-developer attendees. To make the conference 100% developers, either Apple has to get a lot less cool or the keynote needs to be moved out. Put the thing in Pac Bell Park and sell keynote-only tickets, and you'll get what you want.
