One day I was reading DEV and noticed Ben's post saying that there are more than 250k registered users. "Wow, that's a lot" I thought.

I'm seeing a lot of empty images - are these user's which have deleted their accounts? For example 3001 is empty for me!
I have the same question. Several blank users in a row make me think that some bots were weeded out during some cleaning procedures.
I think this is mostly the case. I believe least one of these is gaps a dual account creation bug where we needed to go back and purge a bunch of people who got new accounts upon logging in instead of logging in.
A cool idea would be to try to re-arrange the profile pixels so that together they form the DEV logo :)
Yeah, great idea and I guess it's not that hard in realization. We just need mostly black and mostly white avatars and position matrix to fill with images.
I regularly see posts here on DEV with ideas for side projects to level up developer skills. I think this idea is a great fit!
Haha! Was just about to type basically the same thing and then looked down to see if anybody else already commented with this. 😀
Why not use
<dev-feed>in a pop-up when you click on each user?Embed a Dev.to User Feed with Web Components

Thanks for the idea, I'll take a look.
I'd suggest not setting the

Reminds me of

Very cool! Could you arrange all users geographically? :) That would be fun to see!
Thanks! There is a nice overview of DEV users' location based on public data

90% of the users don't fill their location, so we can build the wall of avatars by location for ~25k users. Anyway, I'd love to see the result 😉
It would be fun to serve a static website showing the real-time map of Dev's developers. I'll add it to my endless side projects folder :D
Yes, something like this would be great see for DEV users.
Wowwww
Thanks 😊
