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 ...

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 :

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

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.
