How does the Picasso saying go? "Good artists copy; great artists steal." (Note this is probably a misattribution, and there is no proof Picasso actually said this).

I want to be clear. I'm against plagiarism. If someone else writes a tweet that you wish you had written, DO NOT copy it. Retweet it. I know some out there disagree with this (I've run into them on Twitter and other places as they have copied my content verbatim with no attribution.)

You will notice themes and memes that make their way through Twitter. Instead of stealing their content, create a swipe file. A swipe file is a notebook (physical or digital) where you copy inspiring tweets.

Your task today is to start a swipe file. I want you to find five tweets that you wish you had written or that are inspiring for you.

After you have done this, write a tweet like the following.

"You should follow [INSERT HANDLES FROM 5 TWEETS YOU JUST COPIED]. You will learn [FILL IN] #twitter4devs".
