Why solo builders obsess over tiny product details

That’s the real difference between being part of a huge team and being a solo builder - you actually care about the tiny details most people overlook. Reminds me of that story from Good to Great where Dave Scott, a six-time Ironman champ, rinsed his cottage cheese to remove a few extra grams of fat (even though he was burning thousands of calories).

Tweaking the cancel flow, tracking churn, experimenting- that’s the same mindset. Those 1% improvements add up.
