Creep (Stone Temple Pilots Song)
"Creep" is a song by American rock band Stone Temple Pilots, appearing as the seventh track off the band's debut album, ''Core'' and later released as a single. The song also appears on the band's greatest hits album, ''Thank You''. A live version featuring Aaron Lewis is included on The Family Values 2001 Tour release. Composition In a November 2014 interview with ''Songfacts'', Scott Weiland said, "That's just the idea of being a young person somewhere, caught between still being a kid and becoming a young man. It's that youth apathy, that second-guessing yourself, not feeling like you fit in." On file-sharing and lyric websites such as Limewire and Kazaa, "Creep" was often miscredited as "Half the Man I Used to Be" by Nirvana. The version of the song that was released in the 1993 promotional single contains different vocal takes in the verses than on the album version, most notably with an alternate melody and added percussion in the second verse which is the arrangement mos ...

Mission Creep
Mission creep is the gradual or incremental expansion of an intervention, project or mission, beyond its original scope, focus or goals, a ratchet effect spawned by initial success. Mission creep is usually considered undesirable due to how each success breeds more ambitious interventions until a final failure happens, stopping the intervention entirely. The term was originally applied exclusively to military operations, but has recently been applied to many different fields, which itself is an example of mission creep. The phrase first appeared in 1993, in articles published in ''The Washington Post'' and in ''The New York Times'' concerning the United Nations peacekeeping mission during the Somali Civil War. History Somali Civil War The first two articles to use the term in the ''Washington Post'' were both by columnist Jim Hoagland ("Prepared for Non-Combat", April 15, 1993, and ''Beware 'mission creep' In Somalia'', July 20, 1993). The ''New York Times'' used the term for th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Instruction Creep
Instruction creep or rule creep occurs when instructions or rules accumulate over time until they are unmanageable or inappropriate. It is a type of scope creep. The accumulation of bureaucratic requirements results in overly complex procedures that are often misunderstood, irritating, time-wasting, or ignored. Instruction creep is common in complex organizations, where rules and guidelines are created by changing groups of people over extended periods of time. The constant state of flux in such groups often leads them to add or modify instructions, rather than simplifying, consolidating, or generalizing existing ones. This can result in a loss of clarity, efficiency, and communication, or even of consistency. Alternatives to instruction creep include applying the KISS principle, articulating general principles rather than specific rules, and trusting people to use their best judgment. The fundamental fallacy of instruction creep is believing that people read instructions wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Feature Creep
Feature creep is the excessive ongoing expansion or addition of new features in a product, especially in computer software, video games and consumer and business electronics. These extra features go beyond the basic function of the product and can result in software bloat and over-complication, rather than simple design. The definition of what qualifies as "feature creep" does vary among end users, where what is perceived as such by some users may be considered practical functionality by others. Causes The most common cause of feature creep is the desire to provide the consumer with a more useful or desirable product, in order to increase sales or distribution. However, once the product reaches the point at which it does everything that it is designed to do, the manufacturer is left with the choice between adding functions some users might consider unneeded (sometimes at the cost of efficiency), and sticking with the old version (at the cost of a perceived lack of improvement) ...
