Oculus is a fantastic example of a creative company. They blew everyone away with their original prototype (duct tape and all!) but they have continued to come up with creative ways to make their VR experience even more immersive. In fact, they're going to show off a new model with even more improvements (better head tracking, less latency, etc.) at CES this week.

And if you're stuck and don't know what to do with your code? Why not try teaching a new team member how your code works? Why not have them try coding an autonomous routine? Raging against the GDC this way isn't particularly effective, especially when you could be coming up with creative ways to help your team.
