Comment on Woz on Creativity: Work Alone

Comments

In my experience this is correct. Work alone. It forces you to know what you're doing, and every part of this. So you're a deeper understanding.

Plus, there's nobody to tell you what to do (in all kind of meanings, eg, "maybe if you did xx that would be better!"). So you find your own solution.

On top of that, you'll sometimes reach walls that you have to destroy, again, on your own.

Basically, on your own, you gain more experience. It doesn't mean you shouldn't share it back of course. But you need to get some stuff done from A to Z if you want to be able to think by yourself (aka innovate, etc.)
