Would it be wise to hoard a bunch of brand name domains in hopes they become valuable?
I would stay far away from any brand or tm domains at any time. You will eventually lose the domain through a udrp. And you could likely get sued as well.
Really? No mention of Lets Encrypt? Does anyone still buy certificates nowadays, especially for dev sites?
The .dev TLD worked fine before it was bought. Now we have to use .test or .local. I don't get what Google thinks they'll get out of sponsoring putting sites under development online.
Presumably you were already editing your hosts file or running your own DNS server in order to make .dev resolve for local development, which you can continue to do?
Besides the usual disregard decency let's HSTS preload a TLD people have been using for local development for decades... This is terrible gatekeeping and I hope Google perishes soon. Wow. I can't get over how fucking dumb this is. This is the mark of a corporation filled with people that thinks putting a price tag on supposedly scarce good early will deter bad actors. Clearly everyone who thought this up has way too…
If you've been using .dev for local development, that means you've either been setting it in your hosts or using your own DNS server until now, which you can continue to do with a .dev TLD.

How much did it cost to buy the TLD? Looks like a very good investment that will repay itself quite easily.
It costs USD$185,000 to submit a TLD application, and there are probably additional costs beyond that.
Last time I considered a new tld you are looking at about $500k in total costs, such as application, atty fees, and marketing fees.
That’s if it doesn’t end up in auction. Google paid $25m for .app, I believe.
edit: just a reminder that .local is the reserved one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local

Why do you need to use .test or .local? Presumably you were already editing your hosts file or running your own DNS server in order to make .dev resolve for local development, which you can continue to do?
