The closest Twitter things so far...
Post.news - This seems to be where tech types are going. Drier, but more fully-featured.

🎉 A new experimental file watcher (--watch) made it into Node. It will watch the entry point and any required/imported module and there's also a --watch-path argument.

In Bandits (2001), Cate Blanchett's character sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart" nostalgically.
PSA that Monday, Feb 24, Bandits is just as old to us as that song was to the movie.
