Hi, DEV folks. In this post I want to share whom I follow and admire in tech world to stay up to date with all tendencies and other cool stuffs they share. Since I am mostly JavaScript/FrontEnd developer, this list will contain people mostly from this part of IT.

So here is a list:

- Dan Abramov([@dan_abramov](https://twitter.com/dan_abramov)) - I don't think that I really need to introduce Dan Abramov, but anyway. He is a main creator of [Redux](https://redux.js.org) and co-author of [create-react-app](https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app), part of team working on ReactJS and just a nice guy ;). He also has stunning courses on [egghead.io](https://egghead.io/instructors/dan-abramov)

- Feross([@feross](https://twitter.com/feross)) - great person whom I started following right after watching his talk about linting, where he introduced [standardJS](https://standardjs.com), and yeah, he is a creator of that tool. He is also creator of many other cool projects, he is more like tech entrepreneur, but he also has huge experience working on giant companies. I like people who create. By the way, he also has [great blog](https://feross.org/)(I've read much stuff after his talk).

- Ali Spittel([@ASpittel](https://twitter.com/ASpittel)) - Ali is a developer, teacher and blogger. I just like what she writes and shares. She also an active blogger and has newsletters, where she shares some great articles across the web. She is also creator - take a look at https://learncodefrom.us/

- Michael Jackson([@mjackson](https://twitter.com/mjackson)) - not that one :). Co-Author of popular `react-router` and owner of [ReactTraining](https://reacttraining.com). Great guy in tech world, especially he focuses(as I understood) on React. Being co-creator of react-router his guides are really well written. He also provides great trainings and workshops at ReactTraining. Also, he really cares about future of web. Just read this thread.

- Kyle Simpson([@getify](https://twitter.com/getify)) - when we talk about JavaScript it is unfair to not include Kyle Simpson, also knows as GETIFY. My foundation of JavaScript strengthened after reading his [You Don't Know JS](https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS) book series. I highly recommend to all new(not only beginners) JS devs. You better go to his twitter account, learn about him and read 2 books mentioned in his profile. 

- Todd Motto([@toddmotto](https://twitter.com/toddmotto)) - if I liked Angular and worked with it much, probably Todd Motto would be a number one person whom I should know, and [his blog](https://toddmotto.com/) would be "go-to" resource for(almost) any Angular related question. He writes great stuff on in, also he is Google Developer Expert and creator [Ultimate Angular](https://ultimateangular.com/) course series. 

- Chris Coyier([@chriscoyier](https://twitter.com/chriscoyier)) - co-founder of CodePen.io and CSS-tricks. He knows more CSS tricks than anyone else. He is also very active on his blog/website. Definitely should follow.

- Wes Bos([@wesbos](https://twitter.com/wesbos)) - Wes Bos, I call this man a "serial instructor", he has dozens of JavaScript related courses and ton of other useful materials. Just head to his website at [wesbos.com](https://wesbos.com). By the way, recently he launched [AdvancedReact and GraphQL course](https://advancedreact.com) - that I mentioned in my newsletters. This course already has many positive feedbacks. Maybe you should also take a look at it.

- RisingStack([@RisingStack](https://twitter.com/RisingStack)) - I know I was going to talk about people. But this company is really great. I did not investigate much what they are doing, but they are super useful for dev community, since they share really useful articles from real experience. You definitely have to take a look at [their tech blog](https://blog.risingstack.com) and follow them to stay up to date. 



This list is just a small portion of whole thing. Actually there are more people whom I follow and admire what they do. Feel free to share your "hereos" in comments.
