I registered a .dev for my company, but because it's a company of one I imagine this won't affect me then. Good to know though. I do recall using .dev for local/internal development years ago...

EDIT: so would this mean that registering a .dev for some BigCo domain could potentially cause problems? Curious what the real-world implications might be.

I don’t think there are really any implications moving forward. It only affected developers in the first place. Developers have since been forced to stop using .dev for development, thanks to the existence actual .dev domains.

Yeah, at this point the horse is out of the barn, so don't worry about registering a .dev. Any damage that would be done has already happened. The point is it shouldn't have happened in the first place.
