will harris@boujeehacker

We're about to witness the greatest reshuffling of white collar workers in world history... right now going back to the offices is an idea for people far off in the future... when the real orders come in people are going to start QUITTING en masse. mark my words

Post-pandemic, so many elements of the workplace are going to be reimagined from first principles.

Miami isn’t the largest city in America. But it’s out-recruiting the largest cities in America. Top talent is decamping to Miami as fast as the cloud will carry them. And that’s because of what Suarez has pioneered: civil service as customer service. https://t.co/jSzdX4bEFV

balajis.com@balajis

In about eight hours, I’m on stage with the most innovative politician in America. The Mayor of Miami, CEO of the City, Silicon Suarez himself. We’ll talk about crypto, startup cities, the remote economy, and a positive-sum vision for the future. Tune in at 10:05 ET!

Several tech giants will be disrupted by remote work What happened to companies that didn't adopt computers? Implement Software? Embrace the internet Same thing happens to companies that don't embrace remote work

Apple asks staff to return to office three days a week starting in early September

Buy Miami, short SF. Or, if you believe in the turnaround, go long SF. Citycoins will express people's faith in city policy. As does emigration. Vote with ballot, and now also with wallet and feet.

Mauricio Prieto @mauprieto

This conversation between @FrancisSuarez and @balajis is pure gold. Sorry...pure ₿. The collaboration between Suarez and Balaji take the “public / private” concept 1000X. Hopefully soon we’ll get a way to buy Miami or Wyoming coins and short SF coins. https://t.co/79LOQPc2pt

The Apple memo on remote work is a positive for everyone. It says what every suppressed and ostracized remote-capable worker is thinking. "We just proved it worked." A thread on why the 3-days-in-office-forced-hybrid approach is so polarizing 🧵👇

Chris Herd@chris_herd

Want to see the future? - Look at what @Benioff is doing at @salesforce - Look at what @eldsjal is doing at @Spotify Giving workers the flexibility they want is the only option The prehistoric companies that don’t see this get crushed 🦕

Pomp 🌪@APompliano

We are moving the entire team down to Miami. Both the folks who work on investments and content will be housed in the same building. The game has changed and our goal is to pioneer a new way of operating in the digital world.

Erik Torenberg@eriktorenberg

Miami tech asks "How can I help" earnestly and unironically, because it still can. Some other tech communities are too jaded/WEIRD to ask "How can I help" without making fun of the concept. Great piece by @KTmBoyle:

As well as the obvious new generation of startups enabling remote work, there will be another new generation doing things enabled *by* remote work.

Deloitte going remote-first forever is far bigger than people realize In one swoop they: - forced McKinsey, Bain, BCG, PWC, KPMG & EY to be remote-first or lose all their best people to Deloitte - established themselves as the best place for consultants to work Jedi move 🧠

Dami Osunsanya@DamiOsunsanya

Had so much fun chatting w @MiamiMayor. What an amazing leaders, and I’m excited to take my talents back to Miami :)

Mayor Francis Suarez @FrancisSuarez

Today I sat down for a special #CafecitoTalk with @DamiOsunsanya from @SoftBank & Alice Vilma from @MorganStanley to discuss why the resources becoming available to founders are making Miami the best place to be to start a business. #CapitalofCapital https://t.co/bNaov81tcJ

VMware officially re-opened its HQ and invited workers back into the office. 2% showed up.

I love all these knuckleheads who moved to Miami five seconds ago bitching about techbros. A displaced group giving the place a new spin IS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE CITY. If you want to import your foreign NIMBY faux-native narratives, the turnpike to Orlando is right there.
