Outside the box or update someone's else idea

Question

Does playing games or using apps make you a better game or app developper because you have some ideas on what to do or just think outside the box and you will be fine

Answer 1

it goes both ways.

first: it's always good to do your own stuff. that is, if you can think of something original.

and second: "enhancing" an already written code can be beneficial too. maybe there is already a good code, which you can help to make a great one.
