Dense “Can I use this?” support matrix for the JPEG XL image format. A header bar labels it “JPEG XL image format” with a short blurb explaining that JPEG XL is a modern, web‑optimized format promising better compression than WebP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF, but with limited availability in current browsers. Below, a wide, color‑coded grid lists desktop and mobile browsers—Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE, Chrome for Android, Safari on iOS, Samsung Internet, and others—broken down by version ranges. Most cells are red or pale, with only scattered pockets of green, visually reinforcing that mainstream support is sparse. A “Usage” box in the corner adds to the confusion: global support is effectively 0%, yet a note says around 14.7% of users are on compatible setups. Overall, it looks like the compatibility table equivalent of “incredibly cool on paper, basically unusable in production”—a stark contrast to WebP’s baseline status and a quiet reminder that JPEG XL is still living in the future, not the present.
Table-style “Can I use WebP?” graphic showing WebP’s browser support matrix. At the top, a header explains that WebP is a modern baseline image format based on VP8, supporting lossy and lossless compression, animation, and alpha transparency, with AVIF and JPEG XL called out as successors. Below, a dense color-coded grid lists desktop and mobile browsers—Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, IE, and various Android browsers—across many version ranges, with mostly green cells indicating strong support, a few yellow/orange cells for partial or older support, and red for legacy gaps. A small usage summary notes that around 96.8% of global traffic can handle WebP. Overall, it reads like a compatibility flex: “yes, you can safely ship WebP on the modern web, GIF truthers notwithstanding.”

Dark-mode Linear issue view for FediReader, showing bug FEDI-74 about flaky, order-dependent iOS tab configuration tests. The main panel is packed with a long, engineer-brain description of how full test-suite runs intermittently fail while single-test runs pass, including simulator commands, file paths, and notes that this was discovered while verifying a different ticket. Sidebars tag it as a high-priority iOS bug for the FediReader app, assigned to Sam Clemente, with labels like “Bug,” “iOS,” “FediReader,” and “Agent,” plus related work like “Implement More Haptics” — basically a snapshot of my build-in-public workflow where even the test harness has lore.
A dark-mode Linear issue detail view for the Stygian Tech workspace shows a FediReader bug titled “FEDI-71: Feed profile links do not open user profiles,” synced with GitHub issue #129. The main panel explains that in the iOS home/feed UI, tapping profile-related elements—such as the boosting user on a boost card, the account that posted an item, or the author attribution when it resolves to a Mastodon account—should open that user’s profile but currently does nothing. Below the description, a Sub-issues section calls out related problems, including certain feed tabs intermittently failing to load content. On the right, properties mark the issue as In Progress, High priority, assigned to Sam Clemente, with labels for iOS, FediReader, TestFlight, and Bug. A recent activity log notes that Sam created the issue minutes ago and that it is connected to Codex, while the left sidebar shows typical Linear navigation (Inbox, Projects, Issues, Views) and team workspaces like FediReader and Just. Weather. in a clean, rounded, dark UI.

Warm, moody desk setup at night: blacked‑out monitor, a dark felt desk mat, low‑profile keyboard and gaming mouse, tablet off to the side, and over‑ear headphones hanging by a brass desk lamp. Tiny plants soften the edges, magazines peek in on the left, and city lights glow through the window behind—very “quiet productivity, but make it aesthetic.”

Dark-mode analytics dashboard from cursor.com showing the user’s coding activity and AI-assist usage. The header navigation lists Spending, Billing & Invoices, Docs, and Contact Us. A large “Total Edits” metric reads 61,776 above a GitHub-style activity heatmap labeled January through December, with January called out as the most active month and January 20, 2026 highlighted as the peak day. A stats row notes a longest streak of 9 days and a current streak of 3 days. Below, a “Your Analytics” panel reports Lines of Agent Edits as 9,702 out of 13,134 total, with 4 tabs accepted and a note that analytics became more accurate on Cursor 1.6+ after an August 2025 update. At the bottom, a line chart plots daily edit counts from February 17 to March 10, with the curve rising and falling to show changing activity over time.
Bright yellow Apple Arcade promo page for “Sid Meier’s Civilization VII: Arcade Edition,” showing the CIV VII logo, 4.5-star rating from 17 reviews, and “Strategy” tag above blue “Get” and “View in App Store” buttons.

A short description at the bottom explains that this is the full Civilization VII base game brought to Apple Arcade, inviting you to build a world-spanning empire on Mac, iPhone, and iPad, developed by 2K.
Dark-mode Notion dashboard for my FediReader build, showing a Stygian Tech–branded status view of 70 GitHub issues. A donut chart highlights 46 open vs 24 closed issues, line graphs track issues closed per day and total issues climbing over February–March, and a feed of recent tickets surfaces work like “Swiping Between Feeds is Buggy” and “Unify Private Mention Composer Actions w/ Post Composer,” reflecting ongoing polish on a Mastodon news reader for the open social web.

The interface shows typical social actions (reply, repost, favorite, bookmark, share) and a bottom navigation bar with icons for Profile, Messages, Bookmarks, and a highlighted Home button

Screenshot of a dark-mode group chat titled “Testing User, Test Admin,” highlighting the redesigned message composer at the bottom of the screen. The composer sits in a rounded input field labeled “Message,” with a prominent send arrow icon on the right, designed to feel clean and modern against the dark background. Above it, the thread shows tagged messages between @testuser and @testadmin, including a dramatic reaction GIF of a wide-eyed man with his mouth open in shock. The image is included to showcase the updated composer’s placement, styling, and overall polish in context—demonstrating how it looks and functions within an active conversation (reaction GIF and all).
A sleek smartphone screen shows a dark-mode weather app for Verona. The current temperature reads 22°F with a gray cloud icon, and smaller text notes it “feels like 15°,” with a high of 30° and a low of 11°. Below, a “Next 24 Hours” forecast charts temperatures rising to 30°F in the afternoon before dropping into the high teens overnight, illustrated with small sun, cloud, and crescent moon icons. The design is clean and modern—giving “bundle up now, maybe slightly less bundled later” energy in a polished, minimalist layout.
