I personally find Twitter works best to deliver media content (not text), so I follow mostly artists.
SWE posts tend to require more context and explanation that will just immediately kick me off Twitter again.
I think majority of devs does not really care about west coast startup scene or generally VCs.
Also there may be better news aggregators when it comes to Linux or LLVM or Postgres or famous IT/Math people or dramas with computer stuff involved.
I would be grateful if someone can list some of them. (Maybe https://lobste.rs/ but I always forgot to look at it and I don't know anyone to invite me)
There's some good stuff, but there's also a lot of fluff and bad political takes.
It doesn't seem clearly better than Reddit's /r/programming board, just different and a little more eager to bury un-interesting posts. (but not controversial ones)
That said, I'm not aware of anyone at my company who reads Reddit other than me, either.
With that goal achieved, I think I stay out of boredom. (Like, at this exact moment, I have a script running at work that is blocking basically anything I can do, so I have 10 minutes.)
