Creativity: The Helsinki bus station theory (medium.com)

This lingered around my mind a few times on unrelated stories. But couldn't find it later (not quickly anyway) as I had forgotten how it was named.

Title shortened & to undo exaggeration. Often referred to simply as "Helsinki bus theory".

A more accurate/original source seems to be MIA, the Internet Archive had this:

But I considered it unkind to have a HN submission hammer the IA. So please refrain from doing so, unless you 'must'. The Medium article does a great job of explaining the concept.

I was expecting something about how, back in the early millennium. Helsinki replaced its original surface-level bus station with an architectually interesting underground one. Instead, this is a motivational article, written in LinkedIn-speak and as vapid as one of those classic Successories posters. Also a good example about how if content is hosted at Medium, it's probably not worth one's time compared to a classic blog.
