Will be in Miami 04/26–05/02; say hi!

I've been thinking about 's "Cities and Ambition" as SF reopens. I'm curious: what is Miami's "message"? paulgraham.com/cities.html
Related: I worked from Maui for much of Jan, was startled by how I felt both much more happy/relaxed and yet much less to summon determination.

So far, the suggestion for Miami's "message" which seems most apt is 's "you should be more entertaining / flamboyant." devonzuegel.com/post/field-not
It's a very unfamiliar message! Not yet sure if/how it'll prove compatible with others' ambitions for a new high-tech hub.

I could see it intersecting interestingly with social and art tech. For example, Miami is full of artists so I could see VR being really big here.
Also the flamboyance comes with a sense that you're actually allowed to try things here. I'm excited to see what comes from that.

To add to that second bit, Miami's flamboyance feels like it's inviting you to try weird stuff! I'm excited to see what happens when that mindset slams into the engineering/builder mindset
