So you’re moving to Miami & you want to know about the tech scene... a mega thread (part 1):
First things first, you probably don’t want to live on Miami Beach (unless you’re super duper loaded or REALLY love the beach).

Here are a few guides to the neighborhoods in Miami: https://www.timeout.com/miami/neighborhoods

https://www.vice.com/en/article/5gj85z/vice-guide-to-miami-neighborhoods-we-love-travel

My favorite neighborhood is Midtown.
If you want to learn about builders & keep up with #MiamiTech news: @builtinmia by @jcalvarezjr + my Sunday digests @bunsen + Refresh Miami news by @ndahlberg @marcemccarthy + General community news on @newtropicmiami + @rjwile at the Miami Herald
If you’re thinking of relocating team members, departments or an entire company, you should speak to @matthaggman @rmoas @mariaderchi @jmikkola or @francissuarez (in that order) because you may get incentives and they are generally just great to know / very helpful
If you write software, you should check out @codeformiami & meet @igregoryjohnson

also, check out @fiumangohacks

If you are an experienced software engineer and don’t want a remote job, Burger King has a bunch of ex-Google engineers - talk to @asherperlmutter or @ersherr
If you’re a designer you should definitely meet @thelulato (runs a meet up), @arielhernandez (leads design for Royal Caribbean), @danishowsu and @amaronathi
If you want to join online communities for Miami there are groups run by @kumar @bunsen @willweinraub & @mariaderchi DM or @ each of them
If you want to learn how to write software: @4geeksacademy @wyncode @ironhackmia + a few more
