    <description>An interactive story in nine scenes about how professional discovery is changing: an agent scanning three fictional careers in fifteen seconds, the same person described two ways, the beautiful portfolio that describes nothing, the five signals a machine needs, the digital shadow that arrives before you do, and a search box where you can brief the agent yourself.</description>

    <description>A visual field guide to the 2026 hiring market. Twelve scenes: why 244 applications now reach one triaging recruiter, a four-minute autopsy that proves whether a job exists, the org chart hiding behind every posting, the six-rung climb from stranger to advocate, the anatomy of a message that gets answered, and the thirty minutes a day that beat six hours of Easy Apply.</description>

    <description>A seventeen-slide visual essay: one four-bedroom house in Santa Clara County followed from 1960 to 2026 — Proposition 13, the mortgage-rate myth, the $200,000 paradox, the RSU economy, AI and the 30-year mortgage — and why wealth may be better measured in years of freedom than in square feet.</description>

    <description>A fictional screenplay in fifteen acts. Alex Morgan runs escalation engineering at Northstar Data Platforms; Jordan Lee has twenty-two years behind them. Spark plans, data skew, JVM garbage collection, heap dumps, driver versus executor OOM, small-file lakehouses, streaming backlogs, an upgrade regression — and the questions behind the questions.</description>

    <description>Fourteen years of school. Four of college. Zero classes on the one thing you use every single day. A visual essay on the missing curriculum, the phrases parents pass down instead of principles, what $500 a month actually becomes over thirty years, and why rich flaunts while wealthy compounds.</description>

    <description>Steve Jobs gave Indra Nooyi three hours and one blunt instruction. Most people hear it as permission to be a jerk. It isn't — four instructions, ten takeaways for work and life, and why the Bhagavad Gita's nishkama karma never told you to be a doormat.</description>
