Being able to bridge the gap between understanding how people work and how it's possible to improve that work with technology is an incredibly rare and valuable skill right now. Quite frankly, most people have no idea what's possible with programming. I once worked at a company where they spent dozens of hours each month manually updating monthly reports in Excel spreadsheets. If you watch the average person work, you'll see dozens of things that could easily be automated or simplified. Watch a little more, and you'll see the possibility to add new capabilities that simply weren't possible before.
