I do not really have someone to brainstorm with since I am the only developer in this company and when I try to use our IT manager (who supposedly was a developer) or the other IT people the accuse me of trying to re-invent the wheel. Now, when the users come to me about a new development or making a current screen/report etc. work better and/or easier, I ask them how do you envision this. Now, I already hear a lot of voices screaming NOOOOO!!!! Calm down! I take their suggestions and work through the rubbish and then come up with a plan. Some of their ideas is actually good sometimes but yes, they are no developers. Otherwise, I take my exam pad, go sit outside in the shade where I can smoke, and open my mind to think creative. That's how I do it! 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎
