screenshot of the shrimp recipe link shared above. 3 photos feature prominently. the first photo shows six raw shrimp, whose shells are partially cut down the mid-dorsal line. photos 2 and 3 show the finished fried shrimp. the attached shells have been fried in the same powdered coating that coats the shrimps’ abdomens. a paragraph at the top says: “After trying Lotus of Siam once, it was alway a must visit anytime I was in Vegas. Flash forward a few years and I’m still thinking about their garlic prawns-but the problem is taking the trip to Vegas now that life is so busy with young children and work. I had no other choice than to replicate one of their best dishes. Once you make my copycat you’ll never miss paying $28 (yes that much for six prawns) and traveling to Vegas again!”

Flow chart describing an image element, with arrows connecting sequential steps. Step 1: page loads. No image is displayed yet. Step 2: image expands (from the top left corner to the bottom right corner). The mock image shows 2 crudely drawn smiley faces. Step 3: image is visible for 5-10 seconds (we should play around a bit to pick an appropriate duration). Step 4: image shrinks (from the bottom right corner to the top left corner until it disappears). Step 5: next image immediately expands. This mock image features 3 crudely drawn smiley faces. Step 5's subsequent arrow loops back to step 3.

footage of an interactive onion dicing diagram, featuring a view of quarter-circle cross-section of an onion represented by concentric circles. making 10 vertical cuts into an onion with 10 layers results in a standard deviation of 37.3%, rated at excellent uniformity. adding one horizontal cut lowers the standard deviation to 57.5%, fair uniformity. adding a second horizontal cut lowers the standard deviation to 66.0%, poor uniformity. a toggle control explodes the onion pieces so that they're sorted left to right from largest to smallest, smoothly animating them into position. when the toggle is turned off, the onion pieces smoothly move back into their original positions in the onion cross-section
screen recording of a data visualization legend. a label reads "standard deviation", and next to it a number and range meter change between different values, along with another label rating the number as high or low. 42.4% is rated as very low with a green meter, 43.5% is rated as low with a yellow meter, 57.5% is rated as high with a yellow meter, and 60.6% is rated as very high with a red meter

two CodePen demos. the top demo is a conic gradient that smoothly interpolates colors clockwise in a full circle corresponding to the flag of Seychelles: blue, yellow, red, white, then green. below, an excerpt of a blog post reads "Instead of a line, the colors are now arranged clockwise starting from the 12 o’clock position. It looks like we’re looking down at a multicolored cone from above. If you’re having trouble visualizing this gradient as a cone, check out this 3D visualizer. You can drag within the canvas to rotate the 'cone' and see it from different angles." the bottom demo is a pentagonal bipyramid viewed from above, that follows the same color scheme as the conic gradient demo, on a canvas with a beige background. a computer cursor drags around the canvas, rotating the pentagonal bipyramid and revealing its cone-like shape

Sankey diagram of Andrew's job search stats. I applied to 173 jobs (outbound), and 124 jobs reached out to me (inbound). Most outbound prospects were ghosted, a total of 191 (some after phone screen). 19 outbound prospects led to phone screens, for a total of 143 phone screens. Over half of phone screens led to ghosting, and a significant chunk of phone screens led to rejections. About one third of outbound prospects got rejected without an interview. There were 100 rejections total. 15 technical interviews or takehome projects took place after phone screens. 6 of those led onsite/team interviews. In the end, 4 prospects were undecided, and I received one contract offer and one full-time offer.

JavaScript source code for the demo in the original post's video/link. the sphere's x-velocity is inverted if it reaches the maximum extent of its x-position, and likewise in the y- and z-directions. curiously, to keep the sphere from clipping through the box, the maximum extent of the sphere's position in any direction must not be its position alone, but rather its position plus its radius multiplied by the square root of 3
a red sphere bounces around at a constant speed in a box with transparent walls, unaffected by gravity. a harsh white light shines on the sphere. the camera rotates, showing that the ball never exits the box. increasing a slider causes the sphere to move faster along its path

Two horizontally resizable textboxes. The same text is shown in both textboxes, a paragraph that ends with a link containing an external link icon. The top textbox is labeled `text-wrap: wrap; (default)`. When it's resized to be just narrower than the paragraph, the text wraps but the icon becomes an orphan on its own line. The bottom textbox is labeled `text-wrap: pretty;`. When it's resized to be just narrower than the paragraph, the text wraps while keeping the icon and the last word of the link together on the same new line.

a surface of pixels is shifting shades of grey in a 2D Perlin noise pattern. zooming in, the surface appears to undulate slightly. a slider control increases the noise resolution in one dimension to make the surface look more like a billowing curtain, or parallel noodles waving. a different slider control increases the noise resolution in another dimension, giving the appearance of a constantly shifting mountainous terrain where peaks are light grey and valleys are dark grey
