I'm wondering now how the heck we ended up so early on Github. It was back then just a small unknown startup but i'm not sure what connection we first 30,000 users share. At the same time i remember there must have been also some connection to Y Combinator back in 2008. Is there a way to see my own history of probably first commits or activity on Github? Oh, i found out. It was the early Rails Community on Github. That's probably what the first Github Users all share in common.
- pimeys 6mo agoI'm also surprised. I'm user 34967 and I was pretty far from Silicon Valley when I joined in late 2008.
- wyclif 6mo agoWhere are you finding your join number on GitHub? I just spent a few minutes looking at my profile and settings, but I don't see it anywhere.

- jannyfer 6mo agoI'm user 7xx,xxx but I also believe I created a Github account while working on Rails projects (basically copying Ryan Bates and assembling things together. haha good times)
- saint_yossarian 6mo agoThat was my connection too! I joined in 2008 when I got my first Rails gig where they were using GitHub, which I hadn't heard of before.
