Yeah that's black and white. I'm currently working on a product that's 100% someone else's idea, but I'm pretty much in charge of everything, so design decisions, architecture, roadmap etc. are pretty much all my ideas, which I feel should definitely be higher up in that pyramid.

As a though experiment, consider the ratio of ideas you can or cannot pursue? You're thinking of lots of ideas, in order to implement someone else higher level idea. It sounds like you get to pursue all your ideas. Sounds satisfying.

Now consider a developer who is constantly told "sounds good, but that's not our priority right now", "no", "we'll maybe get to that later", etc. They don't get to pursue any of their own ideas. Sounds very dissatisfying.
