i agree. if you simply follow the rules and do what everyone else does and what is expected of you, you might have an interesting idea now and then and even create something agreeable but you won't be able to develop any true GENIUS ideas because they require taking an unconventional perspective : "what ? the world is NOT the center of the universe, you say ???" despicable heretic, or genius ?

completely true. someone who writes elegant code is trying to achieve the same grace and balance of syntaxe and vocabulary as someone writing a poem. i have utmost respect for developpers. they are artists just as much as designers. and some more so. take a look at the works of
John Maeda for a stunning example. wiki article about him :
