Comment on Solving a 2014 Google I/O Secret Invite Puzzleparent

More amusing is that I/O is a conference of how to use Google services and platforms[0]. Really, look at it. It's almost entirely talks on how to build products for their p platforms and pay-to-use APIs.

Presumably the developers still get their money's worth. If /when they don't soon or later these conferences will be full of empty chairs. So the question each person asks: "what do I gain by it," not what Google gains by it.

The developers who manage to successfully get a ticket through the lottery*.

Why are the two coupled anyway? That's a huge issue with the WWDC and it's becoming an issue here. If you want developers, don't offer "the next big thing" in consumer electronics to anyone who attends, then leave registration open for everyone.
