Or worse: Their rants about social justice or whatever happens in their daily life.

I can vouch for Eric Elliott, he's great.

There are other issues that people care about in the world besides technology. Some of these things may matter more to the people you reference than technology. Dismissing care and consideration for the world around someone as "rants about social justice" does them a disservice. Also, one of the joys of Twitter is that you can always unfollow someone if they get to be too noisy.

p.s. I recommend you do not follow me on Twitter. Although I do, on occasion, tweet about iOS development, more of my tweets are about photography (mine and others'), and social justice.

It is more like "Front-End/Java Script Developers worth Following on Twitter 2015"

With the word "Coders," I was expecting a diversity.

In the last few years I have learned that "coders" now usually means JavaScript/Ruby people. Even as a web dev enthusiast I kinda wish we had more "traditional desktop/server" software people to follow.
