What this solves

Use screenshots or diagrams without unnecessary transfer size. This pattern is useful when the business question is clear but a generic tutorial is too abstract.

The rule

Use srcset/sizes when you have multiple raster sizes; prefer SVG for simple diagrams.

<img src="chart-800.webp" srcset="chart-400.webp 400w, chart-800.webp 800w" alt="...">

Real-work checklist

  1. Define the business key and expected grain before writing the formula, query or markup.
  2. Test the pattern on a small known sample where you can verify the answer manually.
  3. Check missing values, duplicates and data types before trusting a large result.
  4. Scale to the real file or database only after the logic is proven.

Common mistake

Always provide useful alt text when the image conveys information.
