This is true in science also. Good ideas are ten-a-penny - but what is impressive is actually getting it done. It’s the doing that makes the work worthwhile, not the initial spark (99 times out of hundred).

whenever jack conte speaks, i'm convinced that surviving as an artist should be a prerequisite for running a tech company. "If we're going to task people with figuring out how to build data centers in space, then we ought to task people with figuring out how to pay creators for their work."
