I'm 2/3rd's of the way done with Unscripted . I'm enjoying it better than TMF .
My question is why "idea extraction" is knocked. I was following along and then lost your train of logic. About 10 minutes earlier in the book you list several "trends" that were started in society. I take issue with the "BigCommerce" listing.
It feels like part of the book was punted.
BigCommerce the multi-billion dollar company was started by idea extraction, not domain experience.
However, you say that asking about problems plays second fiddle to domain experience. The guy only had domain skills. He could program and design, nothing else.
I do however understand that people on the forum who half-heartedly try extract ideas without giving a real shot are bad. I do understand that it takes more than just posting on a forum.
Where I'm stuck is the area of why you think finding problems without domain experience means you'll play second fiddle.

Fwiw, I did my best to get a "job" and spent time learning skills. I didn't understand process at first, but I was giving my all.
All that learning to get a "job" amounted to 30 - 50 first rounds, 0 second rounds, and 0 offers. By the time I had done all that stuff, I had put in over 1k job applications.
WTF!?
I literally live in the second worst place in America to get a corporate job or all around bum a$$ job anyway. This is not an excuse also. If I really wanted to now, I think I could find a way to get a job with a deadbeat a$$ company that could barely or fail to pay on time.
However, I don't really see how me doing my GD best and even trying to change my situation means that I'll play second fiddle just because I didn't "work" in the industry first.

IMHO please explain this.
