Hi all,
Disclaimer: Please anyone don’t take it personally.
I am an introvert by nature and almost completing 9 years in the industry. I am not good at anything but I am a generalist and get things done. I am not on FB and on Twitter just as a passive follower.
Now, I am seeing a trend here, specially in the front end community that lost of young folks who are all day tweeting are either getting promoted early in the career or are able to switch jobs easily. Don’t want to take names but it makes me believe that either I am too stupid or they all are genius. I am saying that because it take considerable effort to write good code, document it and do the team meeting let alone working towards promotion.
I am not sure how in the hell one can get to tweet pictures of their cat, Spotify track, dress or random jokes all day.
For me it’s quite draining to just read the tweets. Few of my observations:
1. They are in the right place at the right time, when I got out of college I don’t think Twitter was there or it was so popular.
2. They are extrovert and from good college which makes really easy and natural for them to communicate their ideas.
3. They are really smart and somehow they know from beginning how it works in the tech industry.
4. They don’t waste their time on blind.
Hope I can get some new perspective.
PS: I regret having spent countless hours on reading clean code, code complete and pragmatic programmer.

It's the same people that epically break something - then talk/tweet/make a big deal out of their Herculean efforts to fix it - and then are showered with praise/rewards for fixing the thing they broke in the first place.
