I've seen many known developers talking about code and their stack, and also sharing their personal life or showing who they are and what they're into.
Look at Emma Bostian, Cassidy, and Danny Thompson.
Developers are human first after all :)
Some people who follow you for your tech stuffs maybe don't really interested in your non-tech life, but they could still know that you have other interests.
I created my Twitter account initially for logging my tech journey.
So it's a little bit difficult for me now to put "the whole me" out there on social media. But I'm heading there though :)
At least for now, I do it in my articles.
Outside technical ones, I love writing about my personal struggles as self-taught with a toddler and communities who see me as people first :)
Maybe you can start with putting 80% of your tech things and the rest for your personal interest that shows who you really are to build your presence, and adding more and more to it :)
Thanks for this list! I follow Danny, but I'm not familiar with the others. I'll check them out.
I too have a toddler, and I'm self-teaching. I'm a systems engineer (my background is in Aviation), but I want to get into coding. I don't have a following yet, so I can brainstorm and rebrand as much as I want right now. 😂 Thanks for writing this. It's given me some things to think about.

I hope you can start to build your online presence. 😃
