Ask HN: Most interesting tech people to follow on Twitter?

Posted by leerob on Sunday April 12, 2020 @10:40PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Twitter is slowly becoming my primary source of tech news outside of HN. I’m looking for suggestions on accounts to follow for tech/programming in general, entrepreneurship, web development, and indie hackers.

I have written a blog post about this:

https://tkainrad.dev/posts/twitter-accounts-in-software-engi...

The problem with many such lists is that they include people who are famous, but don't tweet much or don't tweet about tech. I tried to include only people that tweed regularly and actually tweet about software engineering or related topics.

Did you like the recommendations given by Twitter when you followed a new account?

@dhh - (Creator of rails, CEO of Basecamp) most tweets are calling companies out on privacy issues

@swiftbysundell - (John Sundell) Great articles about Swift

@twostraws - (Paul Hudson, Hacking w/Swift) Lots of great Swift content

@alex - (Alex Wilhelm, TechCrunch Journalist) Interesting stuff about Sass and startups

@TaylorLorenz - (NYT Journalist) If you want to keep up with what the kids are memeing about

as a JS developer, @getify is pure gold. He really dives deep into somewhat "simple" JS topics well.
