To me "stuck in problem solving" doesn't mean what it sounds like. Stuck in problem solving means putting out fires. You're constantly in a losing fight against the decay of the current system and therefore you never get to actually solve any of its problems. You're stuck in the solving phase, and never get to the execution phase where you get to interrogate product market fit and the needs of your users. You're forever "solving" the same problem but the solution is never implemented and in 6 months you'll be asked to solve it again.

Another respondent elaborated: “I also thought of situations where I’m debugging some issue with the code and I can’t figure out why it isn’t working – when it seems like everything should work, but it just doesn’t. This is definitely one of the biggest gumption traps I encounter”.
