I notice a lot of the comments here conflate “creation” and “creative problem solving”, and I really think they’re different things. I’m an engineer - so I absolutely love sitting in a room of smart people and hashing out a solution to a hard problem - but that’s different I think than what the author is referring to. Creation, building a wholly new thing, is a different activity than engineering or problem solving, and I agree - requires silence. Creation also implies an increase in the number of problems - maybe that’s why I tend to avoid silence… nice article - I think I’ll turn off YouTube and code in silence today!
