Aspiring to give my aimless tech career some direction, I'd like to get more involved in some tech communities. I've determined part of that is following individuals who are already where I want to be (but that assumes I know where I want to be).

So my question to HN is, who do you follow and why did you start to follow them?

I know the answer will be “it depends,” so let’s consider my situation. I’ve been in the workforce for over a year now and am well adjusted to the daily routine. I have paid back all my debts and substantially contributing to retirement using the common vehicles. For the last few months, I’ve dedicated a significant amount of my free time to researching investment opportunities and very little to becoming a better software engineer. However, I am realizing that this time could be better spent advancing my marketable skills, which could have financially outweighed the gains made from researching how to diversify my portfolio. I (and I imagine others) would greatly benefit from hearing about other’s experiences with this dilemma, so thank you for sharing!
