Today, the third most used Internet app, Snapchat, has an estimated worth of 15 billion dollars.
Known once-upon-a-time as a social media connectivity tool only for celebs, gossipmongers, fashionistas and selfie-freaks, it has now been discovered by many others as well.
This mobile-only social network is not just great for personal interactions, but is a wonderful tool for businesses both large and small. Its usage has moved beyond just taking selfies. It has evolved into telling stories. And riding the new wave, many developers and designers now use Snapchat on a regular basis.

Snapchat for developers & designers
Today, Snapchat has moved beyond its teen and fun phase to take on serious and creative stuff too.
And yes, it has also become a great tool for developers, programmers, web designers and project managers.
If you are a technology-junkie looking for developers to follow on Snapchat, this post is for you. We bring you a collection of names to watch out for on Snapchat.

Andrzej Krzywda – USERNAME: andrzejkrzywda
Andrzej Krzywda started off on Snapchat as a passive and bored user, and he found a major lack of programmers and IT people to follow on this platform.
However, instead of quitting SnapChat, he decided to start posting as a programmer-oriented user. His experiment worked and soon his follower base started to grow steadily. With a lot of time spent coding, he often shares snaps of the code he does, showcases of a remote CEO life with the backdrop of a forest and updates about courses on Rails development which he teaches.
You should follow him if you want to become part of a growing community of programmers who frequently share codes, tips and ideas.
