I did this at my first job. A director had a problem and no one was sure if a solution was practical. He was chatting about it in our team area and I said, oh, I can see a way to make that work. A few months later it was shipped and I basically got a promotion out of it.

  Hah, yeah, basically my thought process reading the article and the parent. Since when do people get promoted/recognized/raises for pulling a rabbit out of a magic hat? Certainly not anywhere I've worked and I've done exactly that a fair few times.
