COVID Tracking Project, Apple's Reduced App Store Commission, Tesla's Security Flaws & more on DevNews!

Another week, another informative and dare I say newsworthy installment of DevNews...

@saronyitbarek and I did what we do best — chat about the top stories software developers don't want to miss:

  • Vulnerabilities in the Tesla Model X
  • Twitter's controversial rollout of "Fleet" — an Instagram story-style feature
  • What we're thankful for in development/tech (— ok, maybe not newsworthy, but seasonal when it comes to our U.S. listeners!)

We also spoke with two guests about two other stories:

  • Sarah Maxwell, spokesperson for the Coalition for App Fairness, about Apple's cuts to developer commission rates for apps
  • Kevin Miller, website lead at the COVID Tracking Project, about a resource that has become super important when it comes to getting a clear picture of the pandemic.

You can follow DevNews to get episode notifications and listen right in your feed — or subscribe on your platform of choice! Plus, if you leave us a review, we'll send you a free pack of thank-you stickers. Details here.
