Vignettes

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.
