HN. Let's share Twitter accounts There is a lot of really interesting and inspiring people Hacker News and I would love to have more of you, and the products of your brilliant minds in my Twitter feed. So care to share yours! PS. I live and thrive at: https://twitter.com/gopatrik |
I tweet mostly about uni and geeky stuff.
Serial Entrepreneur and Web Evangelist.
Mostly funny stuff and funny programming stuff
causes, geek things, a few pictures of my kids.
art+tech, iconoclasts

I bitch about programming and technology a lot.
:)
My LGBT rights site's account: http://twitter.com/equaldex
And, if anyone is interested, a few years ago this guy made a list of HNer accounts here: https://twitter.com/tlrobinson/lists/hackernews
mostly updates for my analytics startup, plus interesting patterns extracted from Twitter etc
P.S. blocked by Marc Andreessen https://mobile.twitter.com/iTrendTV/lists/people-blocked-by-...
I mostly tweet about things I find interesting but can't be arsed to write about in my blog (http://blog.chewxy.com).
Topics I've covered: programming (Go, Python, occasional rants on JS), coffee, economics, stats..
On the interesting scale, I'd be a "meh." I do lots of information security, currently for a top-tier university. And I'm also a contracted web developer, currently specializing in Node.js and Go. So that's something.
I don't tweet about tech, generally. It's mostly just jokey personal communication. (Mixed in, lately, with a fair amount of complaining at my home internet provider...)
Startup "Company" account: https://www.twitter.com/fogbeamlabs
My interests are mostly "real world" functional programming and leveraging it (Haskell mainly atm) to make better software. I repost (mostly programming) humor stuff too.
I don't tweet as much on it these days, and I don't think the one I focus on now would be of interest to most HNers.
Haskell, JavaScript, YouTube, building things.
(Willing to help anyone learning Haskell. Just tweet at me.)
I tweet tech news and my thought stream while programming
Mostly tweet about "funny" development-related things i found when coding, in Bahasa Indonesia.
Mainly about iOS/Android development. About to release first game so a bit about that too.
I post about technology, Australian politics, programming, privacy, and other generally interesting stuff. There are separate Atom feeds for each of the separate sections: links, notes or blog.
I'll get around to setting up POSSE [0] to Twitter some day - I'll have to move off Github Pages first.
Diaspora: https://diasporafoundation.org/ pump.io: http://pump.io/ GNUSocial: http://gnu.io/social/ Friendica: http://friendica.com/
Of course, you're bound to find a much geekier crowd here than twitter, G+, etc... but, that shouldn't matter too much to HN readers. ;)
Regrettably, setting up a website is still too hard for most people - but it's never been easier, too. If you're reading Hacker News, you should be able to do it.
Read the IndieWebCamp website for more: https://indiewebcamp.com/
I am a mid-level Ruby/Rails programmer, post about tech, sports, puns, and trivia.
Meanwhile i'm still surprised the 'independent web' is a thing. Like people 'rediscovering' static html sites. Makes me feel old.
IMHO, the ideas of the IndieWebCamp people will last far longer than those of the other so-called "decentralized" social networking projects. I'm confident that (1) my kid(s) will have a HTML website, and (2) they'll never have heard of Diaspora or Pump.io. I hope that, by that time, Twitter and Facebook will only be used by Granny and Granddad, if at all.
I wrote my own thin API[0] for livejournal and a page scraper[1] to manage crossposting to livejournal and profiling links (like facebook) without wordpress or third party services, so I definitely get the 'IndieWeb' ethos. I like the idea of having your own site and broadcasting to social media rather than the other way around. Writing your own code and being able to do things yourself is very liberating. It just seems weird to me to think of owning your own content on the web as a progressive, pseudo-revolutionary movement because it seems like only yesterday that's just the way things were.
