@PHP_CEO is one of the funniest Twitter accounts I've seen.. example: "IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT SOMEONE CALLED JASON HAS BEEN ENCODING AND DECODING DATA IN OUR APP. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS"

PHP Ceo's response to one of sama's tweets [1] had me literally laughing out loud:

".@sama SO I SHOULD SELL SOFTWARE… AS A SERVICE?

WOULD I DO THIS ON COMPUTERS?

PLS ADVISE

THIS SAGACITY IS SURELY WORTH 10% OF MY COMPANY"

"@sama IF YOU HAVE ANY INSIGHTS ON HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE THIS WOULD ALSO BE APPRECIATED"

Do parody accounts now form the most diverting Twitter content? It ain't an endorsement of the medium.

addendum: fair enough; make that "parody | satire".

While PHP_CEO might be distracting entertainment, some of the best accounts, including the ones mentioned on this thread (@StartupLJackson, @SwiftOnSecurity, @internetofshit, etc.) are not parody but satire, which is definitely a worthy use of the medium.

I mostly follow scientists in my field, which is a good way to hear about developments that are relevant but slightly adjacent to my specific interests, and also the politics of science

Mostly. Some of my favorite accounts from before I quit:
