It's amazing how impactful it can be to take an industry-naïve approach to a problem/project. A lot of disciplines have fundamentally similar challenges, but with solutions that evolved in completely different directions. Intractable problems or recurring issues in one industry can frequently be unblocked by plucking mature solutions or approaches from another, but so many people grow linearly within a single industry/discipline that such cross-seeding of concepts rarely actually have an opportunity to occur.
