Who are 1, 2 and 3?


Test accounts which ended up getting deleted before (presumably) auth worked.


Holy smokes I just had flashbacks to working at a place that tested things in production and ended up with a couple of these production-db IDs in the code. Shudders


Your codebase only has a couple?


You're already hitting a database, you can add a column for whatever information you want. I've heard people are spooked by having too many columns, but more spooked than having essentially untestable production IDs in their code? No thanks.


I remember one place I worked, someone released code which only returned data permissions for the test user (id 5).


fbid 1 is former zuck. fbid 2 is Facebook itself (the software, not the Facebook's own page in FB). fbid 3 is yet another former test account.
