On creativity

Eugene Wallingford is my new favourite blogger.

What feels creative is solving something we don't yet understand — creativity lies in exploring what do not understand, yet.

One thing seems certain: Change begets creativity. Robert Hass spoke of the constant and the variable, and how — while both are essential to creativity — it is change and difficulty that are usually the proximate causes of the creative act. That's why cross-pollination of teams (e.g., pair programmers) works, and why we should switch tools and environments every so often, to jog the mind to open itself to creating something new.
