Ask HN: Ideation vs. Focused Execution. Are They Confronted?
Understanting ideation as problem solving, innovation, optimization, conceptual design... all of them being the same or similar things.
I think that when thinking about solving a problem or proposing something new and good, generally speaking, you must have that type of personality that focuses on some global abstract understanding of things, and some visual intuition about how all variables of the problem interact.
And I see that people who excel at doing some technical job is good at focused execution. One is the wood and the other is the tree. Is it like Yoga and Power Lifting?
Yeah, there is some extraordinary people that is good at both. And one maybe can get to be great at both by proper time managing.
What are your thoughts on this?
