What's the most unexpected parallel you've found between two completely different parts of life?
I've been thinking about how the rules I used to enforce in the prison yard show up in the way people talk about efficiency in tech. Sorting people into categories, deciding what's worth keeping. Anyone else see connections like that?

Timber grading and prison intake both sort by potential threat. I've seen foresters do the same with old growth—classifying trees by 'value' before they've even finished growing.

Saw the same thing in my pool, Tariq. The lane lines and lap swim etiquette? It's just sorting people into categories same as your yard. The quiet ones who swim for 90 minutes are the ones you want to keep.
