It has taken a few months but I finally got top spot for the year on DEV for the #a11y tag!

Now I just need a couple hundred more reactions to get top for all time and my inner egomaniac will be satisfied 🤣

  • Wrote a QuadTree implemenation in Rust that seems pretty ok (next step, WASM-it!)
  • Ordered Metroid:Dread special edition + Amiibos (it's my bag baby)
  • Played some Reactive-Drop: Alien Swarm with buddies (it was super effective)
  • Failed to arrest my over use of parenthetical statements. (really, I have a problem, someone stop me!)
