Nah just jump in at 17. Though if you ask me, the OG DarkAlex was the best.

TL;DR, the original DarkAlex was the guy who basically singlehandedly built all the custom firmwares for PSP hacking back in the day. That massively influenced me while I was growing up. So when I started becoming an engineer myself and building things, I wanted to pay homage to them. So, since my name is Alex too, I made my username the same Dark-Alex. The 17 is just a distinguisher from the original dev. 17 is just a lucky number in my family so it made sense to add.
