There's no need for VC money to unleash creativity and create cool things, this is just the author blaming others for their inability to hit whatever weird creative standard they set for themselves. "If only they'd let me I'd change the world". The things that cognitive dissonance can make you believe are incredible.

- erwincoumans 5y agoAgreed, limits don't prevent creativity and creating cool things, often they are encouraging.
- NateEag 5y agoSufficient constraints do prevent it, though. I have some (to me) fascinating and promising ideas about tooling around managing software specifications. I also have strong opinions about version control and some core ideas about how I'd like it to work. I'm a primary breadwinner husband and father of three children who lives far from any tech hubs. That makes it rather difficult to spend much time or energy on those problems to realize the ideas I've got. I strongly agree that constraints help creativity, but you can have enough to weigh it down rather than help it.
