Regarding creativity what I found over my time writing code is that you need time to do deep thinking. That’s the only way I know of to harness complexity successfully. Here is the twist: you don’t know how much time you need doing it because you don’t know when realisations emerge. The problem with deadlines is that they create stress and stress is the enemy of deep thinking. The funny thing is that while a deadline can be entirely accurate in estimating the amount of deep thinking required for a task, the mere presence of it prohibits achieving the relaxed state of mind that is required for deep thinking.
