In contemporary poetry, for example, Jericho Brown’s Duplex subverts traditional received forms like the pantoum and the sonnet, which, in his words, builds “a gesture towards home.” Other poets might...

As product teams scaled and design needed to justify itself inside engineering orgs, it was pushed toward systematization — and Figma invented its own primitives to make that work: components, styles, variables, props, and so on.

It tells you what you’re allowed to want. It locates you in a taxonomy — student, creative, professional, power user — and assigns you a product. It is helpful. It is responsible.
