I really enjoyed reading this article. First thing that game to mind for me is that the Anglepoise lamp's invention is a great example of how innovation can come from unlikely sources. Carwardine was an automotive engineer, not a lamp designer, yet his work on vehicle suspensions led him to create a revolutionary lamp design. This highlights the importance of cross-disciplinary thinking and the potential for innovation when we apply concepts from one field to another.

Love this! I'm 100% with ya, Aaron. It made me feel the same. Sometimes invention comes first before the use case and that's okay. Always have to align them eventually, but the sequencing is variable. Thanks for reading and taking the time to comment 🙏
