A fairly prominent scala software developer, Alexandru Nedelcu, about why he finally decided to leave twitter.
I’m a software developer. I don’t know what Twitter’s future is, it might be a bright one, but the problem for me is that Twitter is no longer the place where I can go to learn about programming. Or to find my peers. Twitter is no longer the place you go to talk of your passions, fruitful discussions being few and far between. Twitter is no longer fun, but rather it’s where you go to get your daily fix of unhinged political drama, and then worry that the world is going to shit.
Bleak. I guess having the guy who thinks we should migrate to Mars running the show over there makes Earth sound less pleasant than it is. Among other problems!
