A couple of months ago in Miami, I sat down and dumped my brains
The author reflects on a visit to Miami where they spent time thinking and writing freely, capturing raw thoughts and ideas during that period.
Background
- **Geoffrey Huntley** is a well-known software developer and open-source activist, particularly vocal in the .NET and Godot communities. He has been involved in debates about corporate governance in open-source projects.
- This post appears to document a candid, long-form conversation Huntley had in Miami about the state of open-source software, developer culture, and corporate influence — likely involving critiques of how companies like Microsoft and Unity have treated the ecosystem.
- Huntley has previously written about "dumpster fires" in open source, burnout, and the tension between community-driven projects and profit-motivated corporate sponsors.
- The title suggests a stream-of-consciousness style, not a polished article — more of a raw brain dump about industry trends and frustrations.
