[game_edu] creativity ( was Re: question from the community)

[Steve Graham]

There are all sorts of jobs related to computing and software which 
don't require a great deal of creativity.

However, creating new software is unquestionably creative and is 
unavoidably about design (and little else -- when the design is done, 
the software is done).

It is unfortunate that we don't have a discipline of "software design", 
but instead have to rely on (a portion of) "computer science" where the 
creativity and design aren't always easily discerned among the theory 
and formal methods and engineering methodologies and business apps.

But they are there.

cheers,
