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

18 points·leerob··9 comments

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.

If you want to tracking ad-free without js use nitter.net:

https://nitter.net/ayende,foone,levie,getify

Here's a handful a little off the beaten path (except @levie):

@levie @sivers @adamwathan @isosteph @djpardis @hyper_yolo @bmacaitis @nlpmattg @codinghorror @wrathofgnon (not tech but follow anyway) @bcantrill @macstrelioff @marcelcutts @mcfunley @jppope (me)

@foone is probably my favorite.

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

@Alex_Danco, @patio11, @HipCityReg and @tobi are all worth a follow

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

My favorite was @ayende.
