More About Reference Tools
The recent post from my fellow MightyData developer, Darren Burgess, caused me to reflect on my own developer reference tool.

Omitting Someone (or Something) on Twitter
I use the “column” feature in TweetDeck to follow various topics on Twitter. Recently, someone started using a Twitter handle that includes a keyword I use frequently to monitor custom software development. Unfortunately, their tweets have very little to do with the topic. Most of them are personal comments between professional colleauges. Being a database guy, [...]
