dev.to Show us your octocat alter ego

GitHub released an octocat builder. I was waiting for this for many years and I am super excited.

I am curious how dev.to would look like if we all where octocats.

This is me as an octocat

Can't find black hair, and black glasses, but looks about right. :) Can't start a day without coffee either.

(And I feel a sense of accomplishment managing to add this image and comment in markdown on my phone \o/)

IKR, just what I was thinking. Got to make these into Telegram stickers too.

It could be more accurate, but I like it. Sadly, I couldn't find the "oversized jumper" option or the "balding dude" option.

Yeah, I didn't realise that I had to copy the uploaded image URL and add it to the markdown. I assumed it'd just tack on to the end. Whoops!

Thanks for the heads up. :)

I used my natural hair rather than purple cause it clashed too much, but that was fun!

There weren't enough customisations available to make it match better but got close enough (I got a much shorter beard haha).

It's Pepsi Max of course! It is what keeps me going.

Very much could be customized more, but from the available options, this seems very close
