Ask HN: How to break into product development?

I'm a developer who has knack for product development. I'm enjoy working off of vague, incomplete, confusing requirements but still produces useful software (I consider myself a decent/average dev, nothing special in coding department). I also thoroughly enjoy talking to even the most difficult users and extracting useful info out of them. Given this situation, is there a way I can break into product development? Has anyone done it here, if so, how? To be clear, I am not interested in sales, team management etc. I'm only interested in talking to people about their problems and coming up with software solutions wherever possible.
