Key Insights for Developers
Developers wake up later — 10-11 AM beats early-morning posts.
Late-evening peak (9-10 PM) is real — side-project/learning hours.
Code screenshots beat text 3× — pair with syntax-highlighted images.
Spicy framework takes (React vs. Vue, etc.) drive replies but watch for rabbit-hole arguments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time for developer content on X?
Late mornings (10-11 AM) and evenings (9-10 PM) in target timezone. Developers are night-owls and don't check Twitter at 6 AM.
Do developers care about thread format?
Yes for tutorials and architecture posts. For shitposting and hot takes, single tweets win.
Should I tweet about React/Vue/AI frameworks?
Hot takes drive engagement but can get repetitive. Mix in original tutorials or you'll be tagged as "framework drama account."
