Yeah I think so as well. With as much experience as OP has it’s unlikely, if not impossible, to not experience problems or friction in terms of tech.
Sometimes they are completely unsolved, but much more frequently they are just solved poorly. “I wish it was easier to…” is an extremely good starting point. Personally I get these feelings from being lazy - I get annoyed when things are slow, tedious and most importantly complicated. I’m more of a “I can’t believe in 2024 it’s still hard to…”.
Conversely, the enemy of this mindset is “it’s just me being slow/dumb/lazy”, “a lot of smart people have already tried” etc etc.
