Pyroflash Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Do explain how budget tighting brings about creativity. People bring creativity, tighting budgets only denies them resources to realize their ideas. What he is trying to mean is that success in a situation where resources are at a minimum REQUIRES a certain amount of creativity. If you have creativity AND adequate resources, however, then the product can only get better as your production capability increases. There is a really good reason why companies like Microsoft and Intel are pack leaders in their industries. They have resources and creativity, which is why a CONSIDERABLE percentage of their budget is spent on R&D activities. Without the chunk of change that lets them operate within their current efficient structure though, they would be hurting.. BAD. If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.

To answer that, you would need to understand the "eureka moment" and how that comes about... if you have to ask to understand, you wouldn't understand.

Scrim Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 So not only are you saying that the less funding the devs have, the better the product, you're also saying that "if you don't agree, you don't understand. I.e. you're saying "because magic, that's why". :megalol:

VincentLaw Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 if you have to ask to understand, you wouldn't understand.If I used that excuse at work, I would get fired. If you can't properly explain something, then you don't really understand either. You are using faith. This is why people say teaching is the best way to learn things. It forces you to evaluate how well you have learned. I'm not a business guy, but I think budget constraints can cut both ways. It can force you to reevaluate what you are doing, and maybe do something more creative, but if there is a safe tried and true way out, it might reduce creativity. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

It forces you to evaluate how well you have learned. learning by rote, doesn't do that... experiencing research, investigation does sorry, some things can only be explained by it being experienced (you can show someone a picture of a mountain and explain what a mountain is, but you can't explain, to an understanding, of what it is really like to be there... you can only describe it) I'm not a business guy, but I think budget constraints can cut both ways. It can force you to reevaluate what you are doing, and maybe do something more creative, ~ yes, its creates ingenuity and its that which feeds a fertile condition for the moments...

It should be easy to see why fractures occur within a community, and for reasons of; a refusal to see the other's point of view for one, a lack of full understanding of the situation in which the fracture forms for another, and a refusal to compromise for a third... by way of any of them or all of them to a varying degree.

VincentLaw Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) sorry, some things can only be explained by it being experiencedSome things, sure. This is not one of them. It is a very simple concept. The problem is that you are only stating the concept: "One of the best situations for true creativity is a very tight budget." Now justify that. Provide a personal anecdote if you have one, otherwise cite some examples where companies with very tight budgets have done some pretty innovative things in their desperation. I am willing to bet you can find at least one good example of desperation driven creativity. I am also sure that there are good examples where creativity was crushed by tight budgets. Would this mean you are wrong? not completely, but it means your statement is not always right. You can turn that into something better just by rewording it a little: "A tight budget can actually drive more creativity under the right circumstances." Continuing to say that you can't teach people things is not helping anyone. Edited April 14, 2014 by VincentLaw [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Provide a personal anecdote if you have one, otherwise cite some examples where companies with very tight budgets have done some pretty innovative things in their desperation. I am willing to bet you can find at least one good example of desperation driven creativity. I'll put that to you in this manner... successful WWII escapes from german Luft Stalags by Allies PoW's, though I wouldn't call that a "company" as you obviously mean a business/ commercial enterprise but it is an example of "desperation driven creativity". A tight budget isn't one of desperation, and in considering you explained earlier how a tight budget can work for the better..... "A tight budget can actually drive more creativity under the right circumstances." well, all you have done is reword the same concept Continuing to say that you can't teach people things is not helping anyone.

HellToupee Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 yes, the concept of the "Eureka Moment" - read the applicable post again Which has what to do with a budget? If you want others to see your point of view you have to define it, the burden is on you to back up your claim not us.

HellToupee Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 They also were not terribly successful. Fractures occur because some people just can not help being rude and condescending.
Wolf Rider Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) Yes, Helltoupee... that (the rudeness and condescention) is certainly part of what happens in the argy-bargy of the fracture (it also gets thrown out by those who can't sustain a genuine argument as a shutup and go away tactic, along with the cries of "troll") and are you really saying the Wright brothers weren't successful or are you saying the other wealthy government funded parties who were also seeking the grail of manned, powered, controlled flight weren't?

HellToupee Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 They were not, they were first to fly but had little success as a business, they simply could not keep up with the pace of development of their competitors. There is no argument to sustain, as you have not brought one to the table, spouting "eureka moment" is no argument.

It was never meant to be an argument (point of debate)... sorry you saw it that way They were not, they were first to fly but had little success as a business, they simply could not keep up with the pace of development of their competitors. Actually, they were a success as they did achieve powered manned controlled flight before the others and what you're saying (above), is about what came after that achievement and at that, not quite accurately so Edited April 15, 2014 by Wolf Rider City Hall is easier to fight, than a boys' club - an observation :P "Resort is had to ridicule only when reason is against us." - Jefferson "Give a group of potheads a bunch of weed and nothing to smoke out of, and they'll quickly turn into engineers... its simply amazing."
