Introducing Structon: Random-Access Binary Encoding for JavaScript

Deserializing entire records to read one field is a bottleneck at scale. Structon stores objects in a binary format where any field is reachable by byte offset, with lazy getters that never allocate until you access a property. It's the encoding Harper has used internally for years, now a standalone package.

The Old Product Loop Is the New Bottleneck

AI has made it dramatically cheaper to get software to a working version, but most companies still plan like building is the expensive part. The new bottleneck is the product loop: forming sharp hypotheses, living inside the user experience, fixing friction as it appears, and feeding evidence back into the roadmap faster than ticket-based planning allows.
