Haha! Literally posted the same advice at the same time. I guess we're onto something ;)

Or maybe you're just an idea theft! ;P

I suspect a lot of people have a similar-ish work pattern. I'm certain there are a few visionaries that legitimately create new ideas, but the majority of us are just recycling old ideas in a new way.

I've been doing this for almost 15 years now. I definitely create new things, but I didn't start that way. And really, you should use conventional things for most problems that you come across. It takes a pretty unconventional problem to justify an unconventional solution.
