Sorting by "Least recently joined" is interesting. The GitHub team are all there, naturally, but I'm intrigued what "tater" is about. Yehuda Katz is famously user ID 4 but tater shows up as user 611789 through the API.

Other than that, the first 10 pages or so are a real who's who of the Ruby scene in 2007-2008 :-)

Woop. 140th person to join GitHub.

Back then you pretty much had to be invited by a Ruby/Rails person. I got in by submitting a patch to Dr Nic. :)

See, I'm not entirely sure about this date ordering stuff.. because I'm around #80 by that method, but if I use the API, I'm #118. Try http://caius.github.io/github_id/ to see what your actual user ID is, as I think it's more truthful.
