Welp, I rarely take notes nowadays due to more specialized work and
stuff. Though, I should have more incentives for writing. In other
words, I'm just lazy. ;p

More free-thinking morning sessions should be done soon.

Restrictions bring out creativity

  • with practically limitless resources at your side, you may get into choosing how to implement such things; you can get into thinking too much as Overanalyzing slow you down if you think about the best solution possible
  • the path of least resistance usually brings the least creative solutions
  • furthermore, restrictions forces you to create systems that fit with the requirements; that can also lead to accidental discoveries, finding paths that you haven't thought of before
  • examples:

    • this is especially evident with older software such as SCORE and the earlier Apollo computer systems
    • in roam:Game development, this is especially challenged with fantasy computers such as roam:TIC-80
    • no budget movies
