“Standardization can obviously go too far. Surely you’ve tried to make something out of LEGO bricks, only to find you couldn’t achieve your vision. There are only so many different blocks, so you can only do so many things. The key to standardization is to create constraints that will make your production process smoother, without compromising the essence of what you’re trying to achieve. If you choose your constraints wisely, they can actually enhance creativity. Robert Frost said writing in free verse is like playing tennis with the net down. He had better ideas because he was following poetry’s constraints.”
