How did you get into making node modules? #5

It is all @maxogden's fault.

Elaborate? ;)

I wrote some JS code a while back for my blog to do voxel stuff (this was back in the early days of Minecraft before Notch was a billionaire).

@maxogden and @substack used some of those algorithms to start voxel.js, and also generously took their time to help explain how node/npm worked. I had used browserify previously in some side projects/random experiments back in the early pre-THREEjs days of WebGL to try doing voxel things, but by interacting with voxel.js I became much more involved in writing modules.

Once I got some basic ideas through these interactions, I kind of branched off and did my own thing working on stuff like ndarray and stack.gl, and lots of other random experiments along the way.
