I think there is a balance to be made between stuff and people. There is value in following a person because you find them particularly interesting, but there is also value in finding content through your interests. I don't see nearly as much #programming as I'd like to in my feed, mostly because the people who post there post a lot of other things, and don't solely focus on programming. It would be ideal to follow #programming for programming specific content, and follow users for more general content that I trust them to share. I'm inclined to be on your side of the tags argument.
- Let me follow stuff instead of dudes and I'm much more likely to find stuff I'm interested in.
