Last month we published a popular article named top 30 web designers on twitter. As we are called “WebDesignDev”, we didn’t want to miss out a list for development junkies, so here we have piled together a compilation of top 30 programmers to follow on twitter. Remember to click each image to go to the programmers twitter profile. The list is in no particular order, there are just 30 top programmers.

Remember to check out our Twitter Profile! Plus if you think I have missed any from the list, then please feel free to drop us a comment, but otherwise, enjoy!

Thought Apple was making good progress by providing queue status widget and escalation email address. Then I read about Ninjawords on DF.

That said, I think you *can* fix a lot of product flaws w/o changing the product. Lots of ways to help users be better with whatever it is.

Ditching TimeWarner for AT&T internet. Trying to move beyond 12/2 Mb down/up. TW has faster speed in other parts of Austin-not at my house

I don’t understand why Bill Kristol has any credibility anymore. Or why he keeps going on The Daily Show.
