- zach 15y agoIt seems like the "let's try to find actual developers" faction lost convincingly. Last year, I won a ticket via Last Call for Google I/O, their Google-technology programming competition, but got no early registration access this year (yes, I was shut out this morning too). So not only did they not qualify developers for registration, Google had no interest in registering developers who already passed a recent Google-technology developer test. I think they're squeamish about restricting access too much, even by a meritocratic approach. I admit that it would be a huge PR problem if developers are angered at feeling classified as "unworthy", or if Google I/O is perceived as elitist. So I guess developers are going to be complaining about I/O registration year after year from now on.
