Buddha was a programmer and used twitter

Well...
Think about it.
Most of his quotes are under 140 characters and have a distinctly hacker flavour:

"Do not dwell on PHP, do not dream of Ruby, concentrate the mind on the money."

"C++ is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but C++ will wound your mind."

"Three things cannot be long hidden: C, Java, and Ruby."

"Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace. Ruby."

"All wrong-doing arises because of PHP. If PHP is transformed can wrong-doing remain? Yes. It is called C++"

"I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done. Polish that turd"

"No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path to TDD."

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."

"A jug fills drop by drop. RTFM"

"It is PHP, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways."

"I do not believe in a fate that falls on men that do not test; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they test."

"Even retirement is not to be feared by one who has coded C++ wisely."

"It is better to test well than to deploy suddenly."
