Yeah, at first I agreed with the article, but then I realized I've had many creative moments while interacting with peers. Maybe when I reach a "writer's block" like coding moment, I then feed of the interaction with others. But only if "others" are firm friendly and encouraging. If I'm working with someone who takes a perverse joy in shooting everyone's ideas down, then all my creativity grinds to a halt until I get away from that person.
