Yes. If you just randomly pick "a problem" you're only going to have a partial understanding of the problem and how people are currently solving it. To make a good solution you really need to understand the problem and the only way you're going to do that is by experiencing them yourself.

Agreed. Starting with a framework first unless you truly and deeply understand the space is going to either make something that kind of solves a problem but has its own problems, period, or kind of solves a problems but has its own problems for a really long time while you slowly refine it. And the odds of dedicating yourself to solving a problem that you don't have a need to solve are low.
