Here’s my list of some of the tool authors I’m following:

  1. Sanjay Kumar - the fellow behind the SelectorsHub and TestCase Studio.
  2. Johan Haleby - the developer behind REST-Assured
  3. Simon Stewart - major Selenium contributor and lead
  4. Larry Goddard - creator of klassi-js - you can check out his testing framework on GitHub
  5. Abhinav Asthana - founder of Postman

I mostly stumble upon interesting profiles by checking Twitter’s recommendations on who(m) to follow, based on what people I’m already following are following, there’s a lot of following involved! :smiley:

Folks I follow:

  1. Simon Stewart - Selenium lead
  2. Andrey Lushnikov - Playwright lead
  3. Aslak Hellesøy - Cucumber lead
  4. Hadi Hariri - Kotlin @ Jetbrains
  5. Tom Akehurst - Wiremock lead

I haven’t used twitter lately, so I don’t know much about what they are sharing. Andrey just shared a video about Playwright 1.16 which was quite interesting. Simon has been sharing things about the Selenium 4 release. Hadi was sharing about the Kotlin conf that just happened as well.
