I'm always confused how certain people, who I just wouldn't expect, get these followings in the 10s of thousands of followers. The most recent head-scratcher was a SDE who has less than a year experience and nothing particularly interesting to offer the community (that I could tell) but has 16k followers and pretty high engagement (lots of comments, retweets etc...). I'd love to know how people think about this.
