Vignettes
Observations of defaults at work.
The pieces collected here are not explanations or case studies. They are short observations—moments where a default becomes briefly visible.
Each vignette stands on its own. They do not build toward a conclusion, and they are not required reading. Their purpose is simply to create recognition: to make something familiar appear structured.
This section will grow slowly.
- The First Value in the Dropdown
- The Profession That Repeats
- The Name That Had to Fit
- The Table Head That Exists Even When Empty
- The End of the Year
- The Language That Was Chosen Once
These are not exhaustive. They are sufficient.
