Ask HN: How to find solvable problems if you're a great problem-solver?
The advice people tend to give to build a successful startup is to solve problems you encounter yourself. But how do I come up with marketable solutions if I'm already an expert in solving problems in my own manner?
- zombio 13y agoWhat you're saying is you've solved problems that other people can't solve themselves... isn't that the basis for almost any startup?
- naf 13y agoYes, it is. But I can't recognise my own problems anymore, because I've become so good at solving them myself.
- cprncus 13y agoIf you no longer have any more problems at all, sounds like you are either the next generation of humankind or you aren't pushing things enough. I suspect it's the latter.
- naf 13y agoI'm talking about practical/technical problems of course.
- zombio 13y agoNow that's just pretentious and not true.

- zachlatta 13y agoEvery time you run into a problem or think that something might be neat, write it down. I started doing this a year ago and haven't run short of ideas I'm passionate about since.
- naf 13y agoThat's a great idea. It just seems that every problem I run into has already been solved.
