Starting today, I'll post a daily shoutout to a dev who influenced me positively and whose work inspires me.

I trust that if you asked me for recommendations in the past, you'll follow them and learn from them

It's one dev a day for intentional engagement and time to read

Also, a reminder that you can do such research on your own and not ask others:

google: "[group] tech follow"
follow speakers from a fav conference
check who @WomenWhoCode, @ReactJSLadies, @wnb_rb, @ThePracticalDev (for ex!) tag in their posts
see whom I'm following

1/ Let's start with @ijemmaohno who's created @nkowaokwu, a central Igbo-English dictionary, and who takes us on a journey of OpenSource project development

Ijemma is also a terrific JS+career YouTuber (1,42k followers!) so subscribe to her channel:

2/ Meet @maxcell, an ed-tech dev, an adamant advocate for #a11y and a
W O N D E R F U L and compassionate teacher

Prince's blogs, streams, and talks about JS, React and Rust bring pure joy

Oh! He's streaming today! Let's join him! Deets here https://twitter.com/maxcell/status/1384311764695670786

3/ @jolanglinais is a software engineer whose wonderful talk on git workflow I had a pleasure to listen to during a @ReactJSLadies meetup.

While I usually read Jolene's blogs on dev ( https://dev.to/irmerk ), here's a recent one that I really enjoyed: https://blog.clause.io/agile-improv/ 

4/ Today's a wonderful opportunity to listen to and learn from Angie Jones ( @techgirl1908) who:
created the delightful @TestAutomationU,
authored 26 patents,
published Automation Cookbook ( https://info.applitools.com/udghL )
...and much more.

5/ If you don't follow @5t3ph yet, do that for:
