I Turned Staff Interview Prep Into a Midnight Ramen Bowl 🍜
TL;DR: A coder shares a CSS-art ramen bowl that doubles as a personalized interview-prep roadmap. The project blends comfort-food imagery with a CSS-only interactive planner for different interview tracks.
The post describes turning late-night ramen into a visual metaphor for interview prep, using only HTML/CSS to render a layered ramen bowl. Each ingredient maps to a prep focus: broth for system design, noodles for practice, toppings for role/company context. The demo lets users pick a prep direction (e.g., Staff systems, Staff frontend, AI Architect, Staff generalist) and a time budget, which then tailors a roadmap link. The creation emphasizes gradients, borders, shadows, and a small steam animation, all without images. The goal is a reusable, practical first step for visitors arriving from the post.
Question for the room: What CSS techniques or patterns have you used to build interactive UI without images, and what challenges did you overcome?
