The act of coming up with a solution to a problem, or perceived problem, when all one wants really is an empathetic ear.

solutioneering

Working on the technical details of a solution with an insufficient grasp of the problem it's trying to solve. Can occur when engineers are exploring cool technology for its own sake or when requirements are unclear.

Hmm, does anyone really need to control their toaster from their smartphone or are we just solutioneering here?
