There's a Google I/O every year. Developers line up for keynotes, product announcements, the whole ritual. I/O -- input and output -- is the founding concept of computer science, the basic grammar of how information enters and leaves a system. There are also IO towers on reservoirs. Physical structures. Pipes and valves that manage the literal intake and release of water from storage. Same abbreviation, same underlying logic, completely separate worlds of practice. Most of the engineers at Google I/O have never thought about a reservoir tower. Most of the water operators who've inspected one have never attended a developer conference. But they're both reasoning about input, throughput, and output every day. The concepts rhyme across domains in ways that neither side tends to notice. https://pioneeringspirit.xyz/everything-is-translation?referrer=0xf1268B5eaE72617ddB2cfcaa82D379155b675DFD
