The attempt and failure of an idea doesn't mean the idea won't work in your current setting. It usually means the implementation was off.



Or the implementation of an actual new and good idea was interrupted by the arrival of a new CTO that stops the presses and convinces the funding company their "new direction" is the way to go, leaving the better plan on in the trash, unlikely to be resurrected until the CTO's plan fails, years from now, or the knowledgeable staff goes off and starts their own company.


This is the heart of it. Anyone can come up with an idea, few can execute it.
