  That shows up as a picture of a worm for me. Edit: aha! The link forwards to https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/23570?v=4 https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/23570?v=4

    https://api.github.com/users/est https://api.github.com/users/est might be easier to read for getting the ID.

  My ID is #2,715,751 and I still somehow have a 5-letter username
  • stavros 3y ago
    Mine is 23000ish and I still couldn't get "Stavros" (a friend got it first). EDIT: Wait, how? His ID is 500k or so. Hmm.

      Name recycle. For a while I had a username monitoring tool. Names drop, just like domains.

        Hmm, I'll need to make sure that GitHub's Stavros... retires, then.

          It will be an accident, that much is certain.

    Same for #7,xxx,xxx. The space grows exponentially with the number of letters though.

    4 letters at #8,016,155: https://api.github.com/users/jmoo https://api.github.com/users/jmoo

      I somehow ended up with #510,566 https://api.github.com/users/smcl https://api.github.com/users/smcl but I don't think I was a particularly early adopter. I joined two years after they started which is earlier than I realised. And apparently we're both relatively early adopters given that there's supposedly >100,000,000 users now.

  Seems like I'm just slightly older (230381) with a two letter username.
