Personality Hacking Using Node
summary
Uses Watson Personality Insights to score the big five on entire albums (example: eight Coldplay albums 2000–2019), runs a Node.js batch script called "paperback writer" to produce per-album JSON, and finds surprises like Viva la Vida scoring highest on openness yet more introverted, and Ghost Stories as an agreeableness/trust outlier. Renders results with Chart.js and SVGs, paints dynamic confetti and stripes via the CSS Paint API (Houdini), and links amplitude from the Web Audio API to adjust confetti; the demos work but heavy canvases cost CPU.
