“Nothing will stop you being creative so effectively as the fear of making a mistake. To play is to experiment. What happens if I do this? What would happen if I do that? What if. The very essence of playfulness is an openness to anything that may happen. The feeling that whatever happens it's okay. So you cannot be playful if you're frightened that moving in some direction will be wrong. Something you shouldn't have done. You are either free to play or you're not. So you gotta risk saying things that are silly, and illogical and wrong and the best way to get the confidence to do that is to know while you're being creative nothing is wrong. There's no such thing as a mistake and any dribbel may lead to a breakthrough.”- John Cleese
I find that the quote above also applies to Software Design.
In that regard, having Technical Debt is a great way to slowdown or downright stop creativity.
