      Classic!

      So on a more serious note, what do you guys do to keep your creative minds fresh? It seems like you have a relatively wide mix of design and development projects between the Products y'all are building but have you guys found any creative rhythms that help you time and again? Thanks for doing this AMA.

        Hmm I wish I had a good answer for this :) One positive of having a wide mix of products is that if we hit a wall with something we're working on or if we’re not feeling creative on a particular problem, there's plenty of other tasks we can move over to until inspiration hits.

        In general, for me, I also find it useful to mix up the opinions I surround my self with. I find if I'm following the same set of people on Twitter for a long period of time then all I see are the same group of opinions and that can be pretty dangerous. I unfollow and mute without mercy and try to mix up the group of people I follow every few months just to get a diversity of perspectives in my feed.
