ERIC BIDELMAN:All right.
Welcome back, everybody.
It's Eric Bidelman from
the Chrome Dev Summit 2016.
We're just wrapping up the day.
I'm here with Rick Byers
from the Chrome team
and Robert from
developer relations.
The party is about to
start, but before we
do that, let's talk a little
bit about predictability
and the things you
guys presented today.
You want to kind of
highlight the show for us?
ROBERT NYMAN: Sure.
We want to make sure
that it works for web
developers across the board.
They don't have to worry
about different browsers,
and inconsistencies,
and all that.
ERIC BIDELMAN: And,
Rick, you showed us
some really amazing
kind of numbers
on where Chrome is
going, kind of the stats
and bugs we're crushing.
Can you kind of highlight those?
RICK BYERS: Yeah,
I was just trying
to show that, really, we're
putting a lot of effort
into engineering
discipline, all right.
We care a lot about
developer feedback.
We want the web to just
work for developers.
And so, I was just trying to
show we're not perfect, yet,
but I'm just trying to
show that there's a really
good-- if developers
file bugs against us,
we've now got the
process in place
so that bugs get
routed to teams,
teams have a process
for triaging their bugs,
prioritizing, and fixing
the most important things.
And so, it's really
worth developers' time
to file issues,
and I think we're
doing a good job
at least tackling
the most important ones.
ERIC BIDELMAN: So,
what you're saying
is we're going to
fix all the bugs
and all the feature
requests, right?
RICK BYERS: No software project
ever fixes all their bugs.
Right?
But the important thing to do
is that we're seeing everything,
we're engaging with
web developers.
When you file a bug against us,
engineers are looking at that
and will talk to you about it.
And we rely a lot on stars.
People should star the
bugs they care about,
and the ones with the most
stars get the most traction.
ERIC BIDELMAN: Cool, cool.
And, Robert, you
talked a little bit
about a new kind of
offering for web developers.
A place they can
go for feedback.
ROBERT NYMAN: Right.
So, we have our
developer site with lots
of documentation, and guides,
and walkthroughs, and all that.
And the idea there is to have
a new feedback section, where
you can learn how to file good
bugs to make sure that they get
resolved, you can search
bugs across different browser
engines and find different
ones and get some consistency
and feeling for how
it actually all holds
together, and much, much more.
And also, we're going to keep
on doing things over time there,
so it's not like a
stale content page.
And we're going to have
more offerings and more
opportunities for
developers to get involved.
ERIC BIDELMAN: So,
that sounds amazing.
Thanks for joining
us today, guys.
Again, welcome, everybody.
Signing off today from
Chrome Dev Summit 2016.
