When it comes to devops on twitter I've found @fart's stuff to be pretty great. Particularly this: https://medium.com/weird/why-i-am-the-most-important-devops-... - a little sample below:

"This data is encapsulated in what are called “Data Beans” which are stored on the hard drive as zeroes (Optimal bean or “prime bean”) and ones (Flatbean or “bad bean”). These Data Beans are stored magnetically and retrieved as necessary. If a user requests too much data at one time they can suffer from data poisoning.

The computer’s RAM also stores Data Beans in the cloud. No one knows how this is done or why "

Also, @fart (aka Jon Hendren) pulled off one of the best examples of trolling the media I've ever seen:

Oh when you posted a YouTube link I thought it was the Star Wars script "leak" - but yes you're right that Edward Snowden video is absolutely excellent!

Isn't he the dude that trolled himself with the 'Smashmouth eat the eggs' thing and the consequences thereof.

That may have been @arr - David Thorpe (edit: you were right actually)

Both of them are/were contributors to Something Awful's frontpage media

David's also really talented at trolling (though in this instance, the show was in on the joke): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdUHDDj7fhk

Oh, beans from a fart, wow, though it should really be the other way around ...
