New comment by shubhamjain in "Ask HN: Is it harder and harder to be an entrepreneur as time goes on?"

> Nowadays, any cool idea or problem you want to solve already has multiple solutions. Now, that's not completely true but I feel that it is harder to be a solo entrepreneur or have a small, lean, and efficient team that does more with less.

There was rarely a time when this wasn't the case. Hindsight might tell you otherwise, but consider that Wordpress was launched in 2003, long after blogging phenomenon started in 1997. Stripe was launched in 2010, long after Paypal, Authorize.net. Look around you, there isn't a lack of problems to be solved.

And I don't mean to cool-and-sexy stuff like VR and AI, but basic ones. Wordpress sucks. Why there isn't a CMS that combines static file generation with Wordpress' ease of customisability? Why is server administration still so hard? Why isn't there a programmer-friendly search engine that focuses of giving relevant examples (which constitute most of my Google queries)? Google Analytics shows too much stuff, why isn't there something simple for bloggers and publishers?

I accept, these ideas might be not be great, but these are problems I face frequently. Chances are even you (and people around you) would have frustrating problems that can be solved.
