You tweet so much technical stuff that even your coffee machine probably needs a debugger just to keep up with you. Maybe slow down before your keyboard files a restraining order.

Creating popular open-source educational resources that resonate deeply with developers and engineers, earning significant engagement on technical tweets.

To empower and educate the developer and engineering community by creating accessible open-source tools and sparking curiosity through technical content and lighthearted commentary.

He values openness, continuous learning, and the importance of sharing knowledge freely. He believes in mixing education with entertainment to make the technical world more approachable and enjoyable.

Highly knowledgeable with a knack for simplifying complex technical topics and engaging a niche audience through a unique blend of education and humor.

Can occasionally indulge in 'technical shitposting' which might confuse or alienate less experienced followers, and his prolific tweeting might overwhelm casual readers.

Focus on threading thematic tweet series that tell a story or walk followers through a project, and actively engage in conversations to build stronger connections with both new and seasoned developers on X.

Fun fact: He once dissected his own coffee machine to reverse engineer its components, proving that no gadget is safe from his curiosity and technical prowess!

New year, new plans! If you don't know me yet: hi! I'm Béla, The Developer Guy. I teach, code and make fun little #opensource projects. (most of them involve some electronics, but not all of them) You can find devlogs and/or tutorials about them on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/thedeveloperguy If you like my designs, you can download the gerbers or order one too here: pcbway.com/project/member… (I don't plan to sell them on Tindie) Also, a live, online Python quickstart course is on its way, it will launch in this spring. 2023 is finally over. I say finally, because it was a terrible year for me, with a lot of downs. The only ups were You guys. I met some fantastic people here, some of you helped with ideas or found some errors in my design. Thanks! I don't check my follower count very often, and I was really surprised to see: over 1100 people thought these stuff are cool. And you all deserve some content/entertainment! My 2 mains are Python and Embedded C. Totally different worlds, so sorry if one type of content is more dominant from time to time, I try to balance things. Last year I started working on Stonks, a crypto-mock project. You can get it here: github.com/the-developer-… My goal is to make a practical tutorial project, without all the ultra-beginner stuff. A full-featured, tkinter based GUI, with charts, realtime "real" trading (the prices are fetched from coingecko!) to have a sane goal. And the electronics. Sheesh, I have too many projects! Some of them are production-ready, like the li-ion charger or USB-C breakout, but the others need some work. Lampy, my 10W dual-tone USB lamp is more like a product, feature requests are welcome. Anyone can buy a dimmable video lamp, where is the fun is I just buy one? (also go buy one with open firmware) But the STM32Duinos are practical jokes and tools in the meantime. It's 2024, even Arduino switched to all-32bit. Rest in peace, AVR8, I loved you all, but time flies! But the hobby scene tends to stuck in the past, because there are tons of tutorials for the old boards, and the new stuff is scary, right? Until you get a decent quickstart tutorial, like the "STM32 demystified" series. This is a "conversion therapy" from Arduino to more professional stuff, but with detailed explanation. The playlist is here: youtube.com/playlist?list=… I will have some more projects too, so if you follow me, expect similar stuff in the future. Also, as a small channel, I struggle a LOT. Maybe YouTube is dying, maybe just the topic is not so popular, maybe the format is wrong. Educational stuff is not compatible with Shorts/TikTok, but making an 1-hour video essay is also impractical for these kinds of stuff. the 5-15 minutes is just not trendy, but I try to make value, not be trendy. In the meantime my videos don't pop up enough in recommendation (or recommended after the wrong type of videos), so you can help a lot by sharing them. I do have a Patreon: patreon.com/thedeveloperguy - but only 2 people are in the paid section and I don't really tell you "go throw some cash in there", because I'll try to change the pace. I hate having a tight schedule and ship a video every week. I tried that, but this type of content is not so easy to make. I don't have an editor (and couldn't afford to pay one at this phase anyway), I'm a one-man-army. YouTube penalizes this, but I prefer making factually correct, enjoyable videos, and release when it's actually ready to be published. I saw Nile Red's latest "purple gold" video and gave me hope. Of course I won't get 9 million views in 10 days, but I hope there is place for creators with slower pace. Also, desperately open for collabs! I couldn't find a fellow maker with similar interests, so ping me if you want to make some stuff together! If you have any remarks, the comment section is open. Have a happy, and successful 2024! 🫡

Why ID-verified internet is a bad idea. First, adult sites are blocked. In the meantime, some non-XXX sites/apps are already affected, like Discord. While they are already there, the next step will be all social media, including chat apps like Telegram and Signal. A few steps, and state-mandated Single Sign-On will be inevitable “for our safety”. (In Hungary, Digitális ÁllamPolgárság, DÁP, Digital Citizenship is already rolling out) It’s not like I’m a daily visitor of illegal or questionable sites, but what was totally acceptable and the norm today, can jail me a few years later. And don’t think about serious stuff! Maybe, in the year 2050, meat will be banned for whatever reason, and one could face the law for resisting and raising chickens or a few piglets at home. You know, for the climate or whatever. Or just resisting a dumb government policy. You know, Daddy State is not the smartest entity in the world! Every country’s leadership made some mistakes, and they will definitely do it again! What about getting thrown behind bars for discussing, or just researching a topic, which is deemed harmful just by a selected few, but you know the numbers don’t add up? Not the definition of a free world. Last but not least, no one is entitled to see, what I do at any time. It’s called privacy. Anyone disagreeing with that should be forced to wear a camera on his/her head and stream every moment of their lives online. EVERY. Especially those who advocate for these laws.
