Miami is now on par with Seattle and Denver for venture funding. With growth trajectory, it's very likely that by 2023 Miami will be the #3 metro for venture funding, passing LA and Boston. Literally willed into existence in a little over a year.

Miami Tech has become a place where *everyone* comes through town at regular intervals. That's a peer status to SF & NYC that has not been achieved by Austin, Seattle, Denver, Nashville, etc.

Process before 2010: 1. PM adds ticket to Kanban board "Add a date picker to the date fields" 2. UI Engineer picks ticket, finds 3 suitable components, emails PM which do you like 3. Date picker implemented 4. QA team make "pick a date" test plan & QAs 5. Ships in next release

FL has fewest cases per capita in the contiguous US, same vax rate as CA, & school districts without a mask mandate had same results as the ones with mask mandate. NYT thinks cases in North are up due to people inside from cold, but this did not apply to summer heat in South.

Respectfully, @jeffiel hyped the acceleration of digitization thru covid, yet said nothing on re-opening of businesses, getting kids back in school, or the spike in crime/deteriorating streets. But it's mean to discuss how SF failed. He's now at the anger phase of grief.
