The Self-Rendering Eval Shirt

Eric Simons, CEO of StackBlitz, embarked on a creative project to design a unique t-shirt for the StackBlitz community that would stand out from typical logo shirts. His inspiration led to the creation of a t-shirt featuring the StackBlitz lightning bolt, made from valid JavaScript code that represents the image itself. This ambitious design required overcoming technical challenges, such as creating a quine—a program that outputs its own source code—while ensuring the image could be printed accurately with tiny font sizes. The final product is an innovative blend of digital art and programming, allowing developers to copy and execute the code directly from the shirt. The shirts, praised for their softness and unique packaging, are available through participation in StackBlitz events or by engaging with their team.
