If it solves the problem, then yes - it's a genuine solution which can help someone else with a similar problem.

I think that it is a very esoteric problem, and only idiots (freaks?) like me and my team-mates will face such problem ever, but my solution actually solves the problem - we already use it  ...

Then preserve it for posterity!
It may be esoteric, but you met it - so it's quite likely that there is someone else out there struggling, or will be.
OK, it's not going to be a vote winner; it's never going to be popular. But how much work would it have saved you if you had found it 3 weeks ago? It's only takes one poor sod to make it all worthwhile!

Good point!
(I meant to write the tip in any case as I think that there is a nice usage of Roslyn in it, even the original problem is a bit awkward...I actualy wanted to know if it is all right to post it as an answer to myself...And I promise not to upvote it )

I've just moved to a new house...That house is in the middle of a forest and there is no land-line there, so I'm connecting internet using cellular modem driven by a SIM card...
That card has fixed-size browsing package (of 20GB for now) with a bit slower connection speed (it highly depends on the weather )...
So now (after some 10 years) I have to watch my steps when going online...
I found that is a bit hard to me, but on the other side I've done more work in one evening than I've done in 2-3 days before...
So - it is an interesting experience - no outcome yet...

Actually I think not...
The kids have a great time - we have horses to ride and forest to explore...
I'm not even sure if it's wrong that I'm less online (of course I have less time to answer QA and I may loose my MVP, but on the other hand I have more time to write articles...)

You didn't...
Actually internet is not a medium my kids care for, not too much even for the phone (and they have a free line to use)...They grew up without TV and a big dosage of classic libraries...The only usage of computer they know of is to watch DVD (loaned from that library) and write homework (including a bit of Google search)...
If there is a choice to go out or watch a movie they will go out even in rain...

You can make things better buy using good anti-spyware software and also by running your own DNS-Server to speed things up.
Even the Tor network can be made to work at a decent speed if you do lots of blocking and maybe some caching using a proxy server

What would you write to say that you think about user. In other words, you develop something keeping in mind how end user will react/interact/think about this? How this can be best expressed in documents related to Project/Resume?

I think i'm unable to explain what i want. I want to mention somewhere that the person has ability to think how user will think about this Product/App/Software. He can think from client perspective.
It can be a sentence or single word also. I tried but unable to tailor it properly.

I am not completely clear on where you are trying to get to, however guessing what you mean - here are two sentences:
"The developer is able to put himself/herself into the shoes of the user."
"The developer has an understanding of the users' needs."
[edit - here's an extra one for free]
"In developing the solution the developer will have an understanding of the needs of the users, the technical competence of the users as well as the level of abstraction, with regards to information, the users are able to master."
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”

I think you might want to express that with reference to UX (user experience) design skill.

What I think of some users should never be written down.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."
