    How did this guy get a single-letter GitHub username?

      His oldest repository was updated in 2011. Looks like he's been there a long time.

        It's funny, i actually worked with this guy (same small startup, not closely), and recognized him from that unique username on this post. It's been so long i wouldn't have had any idea if not for the oddness of the single letter username.
