Found on 18 September 2026 by taking the local part of an address this index already holds for this operator -- johnfaryno -- and asking dev.to whether an account exists under it. The address is on a consumer mail host, where the local part is a login the holder chose rather than one an employer assigned; handles taken from company addresses were excluded from this pass for that reason. The account states a registration date of 26 February 2026 and a display name of John Faryno. The display name is kept here rather than carried as an alias, because it restates the handle, describes the work, or is too bare to be a name. The login is what links this account to the rest; nothing here establishes that one person holds both, and a display name on a profile is a name the account presents, not an identification.
