I've been off Twitter and Facebook for more than a month and although I definitely do not miss FB, I miss Twitter for exactly what you said: keeping tabs on what's happening right now (though sometimes I end up bookmarking links on Twitter because I don't have time to read them :D)
I have way too many tweets (around 12k, I'm not kidding and my account is 9 years old). I'm going to consider everything you said and probably start deleting the first few years. By memory I have no idea what the heck I had been yapping about in 2009 so why keep it there?
On the technical side: thanks for reminding me that I need to get more acquainted with Lambda.
On the personal side: I would love read more about your experience about being a digital nomad and a nomadic developer. I also think it would contribute a lot to dev.to, I guess most people here are not digital nomads :-)
I'm a remote developer. I donated most of my clothes twice already but I can't find myself to go full Marie Kondo on my things. I'm definitely aware of this issue and after having been in the same city for a few years now I look around and see that I own too much stuff.
I find that my perspective is clearest when I'm about to leave one location for another, and when I've just arrived somewhere new. The experience of change really forces you to consider what (more than just tangible things) is really necessary and helpful to your own life.
I blog infrequently about the way I live at herOneBag.com :)
Thanks for this.
