The Mappyist Hour - Identity Crisis

In this episode of The Mappiest Hour, Tee and Silas welcome their very first guest, Alex Morrow from GEEI Consulting, to discuss his controversial blog post about the "identity crisis" currently facing Esri. The trio dives deep into the friction caused by the industry giant's shift from traditional desktop software to a cloud-based, "named user" model, debating whether this move leaves the average GIS analyst behind. From the rise of developer-centric tools like Mapbox to the eternal struggle of data cleaning, this conversation covers the growing pains of a changing geospatial landscape.
