How would I go about finding great programmers to follow?

  Look at the libraries you're using. For me, it was caolan/async. One evening, I sat down and thought about how he was doing it and I recreated all the most interesting features without looking at the code. In passing, I found a lot of opportunities to add more cool features, so I did. It was an enlightening experience, even if no one ever uses my piece of code. It has also been mentioned by almost every single recruiter I've talked to since I posted it to Github.

    I second this. Looking at the libraries you are using have many positive effects; its due diligence, its relevant and a great way to learn more about the power of your dependencies. Personally I also try to discover best practices on how to solve problems in my domain, and learn why they are best practices.
