There was a fair comment left on one of my older articles, namely, best accounts for developers to follow on Twitter. The comment left by Belma is as follows –

Thanks for the list. I’ve noticed only 4 developers who have identified as female on your list. Do you

have a more comprehensive list that includes more female developers? I’m starting out in this business and I’ve

found looking up to female role models to be more encouraging and motivating. Thanks!

I personally thought this was a great comment, and thus give me the motivation to compile a list of female developers to follow on Twitter. And if this list helps get more girls into development or programming alike, I’ll certainly do my bit.

To begin with, I asked Twitter users themselves for their advice, listing which female devs they currently follow, and so the list begins –

I also put together a bonus list of dedicated Twitter accounts promoting females who code and in the tech industry.

If you follow some more great female developers which I have missed, feel free to leave the handle’s in the comments. Similarly, any communities that you think that should be listed too, drop them in the comments! Enjoy.
