Creative energy is fairly zero sum though. You can't spend 100% of your day producing creative works. It's taxing, it takes time, it takes failures. Abstractions are one way engineers take away the requirement for creative energy and build on top of it. We don't start our jobs inventing an operating system for our new job so we can start to write some programs with it, we just use linux/macos/windows, and move on. You don't need to be creative with the video driver on your laptop while you build some business crud app, and you don't need to be creative with your infrastructure either. UNLESS that is where your company will succeed. Spend all of your creative energy there. |
