That's so arbitrary. There are plenty of devs on Twitter that I could never ever get along with. Plenty not on twitter I could. There are plenty of people blogging about their profession that are good at it, and plenty that are good at it that are not blogging.
At my startup of the 8 devs, we had 2 on twitter and 3 with their own blogs, so the bulk of us didn't do either. But we got along great. Why wouldn't we? What does Twitter and blogging have to do with interpersonal relationships?
- bphogan 16y agoWell, I did say "and twitter account if any". Looking at someone's twitter stream who's poking at some new library or talking about some code they wrote tells me a lot more than "1 year of php development" on a resume. It may be arbitrary, but github+blog+twitter has worked well here.
- Locke1689 16y agoTwitter is tricky. I very rarely if ever tweet about technical topics for a couple reasons: 1. I don't think anything technically interesting can be accurately explained in the 140 characters provided by Twitter. 2. Simply announcing what I'm working on is self-congratulatory back-patting. No one cares what I'm working on that hour. 3. I have many non-technical friends (e.g., no one else in my frat is CS). I would not alienate them from a conversation by only talking about tech all the time.
- vanschelven 16y agoThe same could be said for non-technical topics: 1. I don't think anything interesting can be accurately explained in the 140 characters provided by Twitter. 2. Simply announcing what I'm working on is self-congratulatory back-patting. No one cares what I'm working on that hour. 3. I have many friends with different interests. I would not alienate them from a conversation by only talking about X all the time.
