Absolutely I've ran into this. Here's one of my ideas on why that is and maybe what we can do about it - I think everyone has made it pretty clear that it's all about finding a pain point / frustration. Most of us have our day to day routine and we've worked out short-cuts and/or answers to obstacles that stand in the way of the things we do most often. It's either this or we've just put up with whatever issue is at hand. However, I reckon most of us here don't settle for this option. Hackers are usually the ones to come up with a workaround or a quick-fix anyway. This may also be why they make bad customers. The result is we don't feel like we encounter huge problems very often. So yea, in summary I think that's why speaking to people is very important. But another route is to just do something you don't normally do. Perhaps there's something you're putting off doing because it just seems so bothersome? Or maybe there's a project that you'd like to do but you've put off because you're not sure where to start? A good way to find problems is to put yourself in difficult situations.
