About sierpinski-shapes.com

This website is a side project by Rick Joi, which was inspired by his involvement in the Crush Your Side Projects meetup in Lancaster, PA

Of all the possible side projects, why this one?

Prior to the summer of 2024, the last time Rick seriously coded was in 2013 🙀

A lot has changed in web application technology since then — most notably, the appearance and widespread adoption of React 🤯

As his day job at The Workiversary Group, Rick is building a React-based web application which is a very unique and special way of celebrating work anniversaries 🎉

However, that project isn’t especially “reactive”, and so Rick thought he could jumpstart his mastery of React by leaning into a project that required a lot of reactivity

The thought was that in doing this project, Rick would become more aware of opportunities to better use React in the workiversary project 💡
