soleio · x · 2026-11-11
A live podcast segment (Season 3, Ep 4, Part 1) with Profound founder Dylan Babbs.
- At Uber, Babbs learned "business-driven product design": changing a button's border radius by one pixel can make or lose millions in a day — what matters is whether it moves the needle, not how it looks.
- He tried 12-15 ideas before Profound; the one that worked took only three days to build.
- Hosted by soleio, recorded live at SPC; Part 2 drops Thursday.
