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](https://dev.to/samchon/series/21611)
    -  [I made 1,000x faster TypeScript validator library](https://dev.to/samchon/typescript-json-is-10-1000x-times-faster-than-zod-and-io-ts-8n6)
    - [I made 10x faster JSON.stringify() functions, even type safe](https://dev.to/samchon/i-made-10x-faster-jsonstringify-functions-even-type-safe-2eme)
    -  [[Typia] 15,000x faster validator and its histories](https://dev.to/samchon/typia-15000x-faster-validator-and-its-histories-1fmg)
    -  [[Nestia] 15,000x faster validators and tRPC for NestJS](https://dev.to/samchon/nestia-15000x-faster-validators-and-trpc-sdk-for-nestjs-248k)

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](https://github.com/samchon/typia) and [nestia](https://github.com/samchon/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.
