I’m skeptical about the sourced from twitter part.

I used to be very impressed by industry celebrities. The kind of people with a zillion SO or HN karma, blogs, books, podcasts, conferences speaking spots—-real name recognition at least in some corner of the tech universe.

But then over time I’ve found myself in workplaces with some of these folks and it turns out that if you do all of that, well that’s what you do. Building your own personal brand is a job and it doesn’t leave much time to build either software or engineering organizations.

Personally I’m not much interested in building a personal brand (different strokes though) and so I don’t think it would be all that exciting to talk to a bunch of people that are experts in doing so.
