Do developers show up on twitter?

Of the 100 or so professional software engineers and it pros I have worked closely with over the last decade, I think I know... 1 that used twitter. Maybe they follow engineering on twitter, maybe not. Twitter gets you, twitter people, not necessarily software engineers.

There are many people who passively use Twitter and don't follow / comment much. But I agree it's true, Twitter is massive time sink and many people rightfully avoid it. It's just one of places to look, and it attracts specific subset of devs.
