Or they just funnel the credit for all creativity straight up the management chain

Now, that is completely unrealistic.

They're right.
I mean, how creative do you have to be to come to CP and ask for CODZZ PLZ?

JM is right all new ideas must come from "head of Business". It is the underlings job to feed their ideas to HoB who then makes them his own.

No company wants that, ever. And to a certain extent it's not a bad idea - if you're not a team-sized company wild mavericks are actually more destructive than useful (I'm living in a company full of mavericks and it's hell. It's like worikng on an open source project.)

I was once told by a "Systems Architect" that us programmers were the IT equivalent of bricklayers - they design the systems and we just cement blocks together to meet the design.
My reply was that we were actually more like structural engineers, informing the "architect" that making a load bearing wall out of cardboard was probably not a good idea.

Indeed. Several years ago, a management yabbo had us document our "software development process" and what we perceived the problems to be. I used the phrase "scheduling an invention" at one point, since that's how a lot of our schedules came to be. The yabbo told us that "software development was not an inventive process".
Since that time I've steadfastly refused to participate in any patent processes here. Software development isn't inventive? Okay, then no patents, f***ers.

For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

But software! What code through yonder Windows breaks?
It is the Linq, and C# is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious Javascript,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou - her code - art far more fair than she.
Be not her code, since she is bloody useless.
Her vestal livery is but sick and badly typed,
And none but fools do code it. Cast it off.
