Identify problems. This is usually what people complain or meme about. Identify and iterate better ways to fix them. Keep asking why.
For example, people complain they have too many tabs open. The worst solution is perhaps a tab manager. All the costs of keeping tabs open, in a new window, and often it replicates the history feature.
Ask why they have tabs open.
For some, it's because they need documentation open while they do work. The solution might be something that makes the documents and cheatsheets accessible with muscle memory, like Dash.
For some, it might be build times forcing them to multitask. Solution is something that notifies when the build is done. Also for these people, an anti-procrastination tool is more useful. Vice versa, someone might think they need an anti-procrastination tool, when they actually just need a lower cognitive load.
And so on.
Also most problems have been solved elsewhere. There are exceptions, like anti-gravity and FTL travel, which have absolutely no solutions. But if you want stronger structures and materials, you can look at honeycombs and spider webs. SimCity modeled traffic and unemployment similar to how Conway's Game of Life worked - a tile affected an adjacent tile and this led to some advanced looking simulations.
