Yeah. To take it a step further - I would argue that for a lot of things, the coding isn’t most difficult part of the innovation process.

- mandeepj 8y ago> the coding isn’t most difficult part of the innovation process. This. Exactly my sentiments. I believe coding could also be one of these easiest things to do. Hardest are - requirements gathering and selling.
- jakobegger 8y agoFunny how everyone thinks other stuff is hard. Me, I think gathering requirements and deciding what to build is the fun part. Following through with the plan, managing the project, coming up with a schedule, making sure everything gets done on time, that's what I consider the hard part.
- mandeepj 8y agoGreat. Then, let's build a team of experts :-)
- tropshop 8y agoBoth you and the parent seem to assume that there is this clear boundary between gathering requirements, and implementing the solution. The hard part is accepting that this is an ongoing cycle and that you need to find ways to build inertia and continually evolve the value proposition.
- mandeepj 8y agoSorry, I do not have this assumption. Prioritizing the requirements is another big challenge.
- toomanybeersies 8y agoA lot of very valuable companies are built around what are little more than CRUD apps, or at least started that way. Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit started as relatively basic apps, basically glorified message boards.

- citrablue 8y agoOf course not, it's our own biases that lead us to think we are the gods through the expression of a creative process. Because we are human, and cannot see past what's in front of us, we mistake our tools for creating. The first steam engines were riveted by metal workers who may have felt similarly.
