About this lesson
Complaints are clues. Every product in your house started as somebody's bad afternoon. Most people complain and stop. Builders finish the sentence: somebody should fix that, and maybe it could be me.
What you’ll learn
- Annoyance is the first step of invention.
- Write down who has the problem, not just what bugs you.
- Workarounds in the wild are proof people would pay for a real fix.
- The best problems are frequent, painful, and already paid for badly.
