Podcast Fractal Speed (S3E4, Part 2) sits down with dbabbs, CTO and cofounder of Profound:
- "There's no moat": speed and quality don't have to trade off; fast iteration is the differentiator.
- The team spent a year hiring for design; built a "marketing harness" that compressed two weeks of work into two hours.
- "Don't vibe code your payroll" — critical business code still demands rigorous engineering.
- Also covers positioning, doing more with more, and the "just go post" growth philosophy.
