Thanks Jacob!

Molly Struve (she/her) • Apr 17 '20

The best is not to follow developers but community. Most of the time tweets are personal and waste but tweets tagged to communities are good source.

Follow Twitter account of dev.to, Ubuntu, Linux, Google etc. There you can find good active developers ...

Rémi Lavedrine • Apr 17 '20 • Edited

Yes, and now on Twitter, you can follow topics.

Nevertheless, I would recommend to follow @dhh, creator of Ruby on Rails and founder of Basecamp. He always speaks his mind, and it is refreshing. :-)

I love this recent one from him for instance :

DHH

@dhh

Splunk equates number of daily Zoom meetings with “employee productivity and high performance of critical business activities”, and thinks you should track that as some sort of daily KPI. All of the WTFs. splunk.com/en_us/blog/lea…

And me of course if you want to have news about AppSec. But I would recommend to follow me on dev.to. ;-)

manish srivastava • Apr 17 '20

Nice. I also followed some topics

Adam K Dean • Apr 17 '20

I agree with this. I'm quite a technical person but most of the time I use Twitter just to discuss current affairs or talk to Yorkshire Tea. It can be hard to only post technical stuff, and to do so regularly enough to "be relevant". It becomes almost like managing a brand. It would've taken me longer to write something useful about ESP8266 than it took me to fix an issue I had with it yesterday, so I didn't tweet about it.

@wesbos @monicalent @hhg2288 @ryanchenkie @b0rk @AnjanaVakil @weibenfalk @kyleshevlin @sarah_edo @jsjoeio @manuelbieh @emmabostian @dan_abramov @cszhu @abbyfuller @toddmotto @bendhalpern @aspittel @hugojmd @stolinski

Most of them have Software Development content in their timelines but sometimes they post about their struggles, their downfalls, their new jobs or evens jokes, always with respect and cheering others in beign better developers. For me thats the type of people I want to read on my TL.

weibenfalk • Apr 29 '20

Thanks Catalin, oh, and if anyone is reading this, you gotta follow Catalin twitter.com/catalinmpit, he's been on absolute fire and provides me with daily motivation and inspiration. All of these other people he mentioned are also stellar and I'm honored to be mentioned next to them.

Simme • Apr 21 '20

You can follow me! I'm @0x12b on twitter 😅

People I follow include @molly_struve , @degoodmanwilson , @danicat8, @editingemily , @malwareunicorn, @bubblewire, @floordrees, @kelset , @mipsytipsy , @goinggodotnet, @nataliepis, @coralineada

Jason C. McDonald • Apr 16 '20 • Edited

Hmm, I do have a few. I regularly enjoy posts from @molly_struve, @vaidehijoshi, @NoBugsHare, @bendhalpern (of course!), @MissAmaraKay, @munificentbob, and @gregcons.

I'm sure there are many more, but it's hard to distill my Twitter feed quickly. :P

Also, shameless self-promotion: I post original, mostly programming-related content on a daily basis: @codemouse92

Adam K Dean • Apr 17 '20

I second Robert Nystrom (@munificentbob), been following his work (projects, books) for many years now.

Mihail Malo • Apr 17 '20

@notch, the only reason to have twitter.

But while you're at it, might as well follow:
@horse_rust
@horse_js
@horse_js_ctx

(don't be afraid to click, the links take you to 🐦, not dev.to/:user)

Ben Halpern • Apr 16 '20

Follow me for that sweet sweet content

Adam K Dean • Apr 17 '20

Disappointingly, this embed is not an iframe.

Gladdstone • Apr 18 '20

Been building up my list for a while. Some are are writers, others have a unique perspective, slight chance of some solid Animal Crossing content (sorry)

@ChloeCondon @ReinH @markdalgleish @aarondjents @blackroomsec @DynamicWebPaige @IanColdwater

The list goes on and on but these are some of the names I see the most and offer a lot of great stuff. And of course if you still aren't following people like @SwiftOnSecurity, @hacks4pancakes, or @cassidoo you're really missing out.
