Received 2022 Top Authors Gift from DEV.TO

I received 2022 top authors gift from dev.to.

Thanks for giving me such interesting gift (stickers). I'm planning to buy a new laptop soon, and it would better to attach them on the new laptop. My friends and wife are also interested in those stickers, saying "It's so cute".

I don't know which article made me the 2022 top authors, but maybe one of below:

Series of TypeScript based Libraries

For reference, there was an interesting story before receiving the gift.

When dev.to sent me an email saying "You are selected as a 2022 top authors and we will send you a gift", I was quite surprised to see the amount written on the gift. Looking at the 256 dolloars, I once though that:

"Wow, is this possible? I just wrote few articles just for introducing my open source libraries typia and nestia, but got a big gift worth $256. Can I really accept such an expensive thing?"

However, as you can see from above and below pictures, the gift was just a set of stickers. Opening and looking at the gift stickers, I realized that $256 was a simple joke, and I was slightly, really, slightly disappointed.

But, as I could introduce my open source libraries widely and getting hundres of stars, I think that the real worth gotten from dev.to may over the $256. Thanks dev.to and all of my readers.
