A high-tensile, waterproof adhesive tape originally engineered for sealing ammunition boxes and now the global standard for rapid field repairs.

Engineered by Johnson & Johnson in 1942 for the U.S. military, duct tape utilizes a three-layer construction: a polyethylene top coat for moisture resistance, a high-strength fabric mesh (scrim) for tensile integrity, and a thick rubber-based adhesive for aggressive surface bonding. It delivers a typical tensile strength of 20 to 30 pounds per inch and operates effectively in temperatures ranging from 20 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Beyond its namesake HVAC applications, the material is essential in aerospace (Apollo 13 CO2 scrubber repair), automotive recovery, and emergency medical stabilization. It remains the most versatile tool in any operator's kit due to its hand-tearable convenience and reliable shear strength.

### [GoToMarket for IndieHackers](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_ADSMC_OBDpE)

Product Engineering gets a lot of love from Claude Code and Agentic Orchestration. But what about the rest of GoToMarket? I'll present scrappy workflows that I use (from manual to semi-automated) to ideate, research, and launch products and services. These are workflows that I'm actively working on improving to bring them up to "hands-off" standard that I've archived with the engineering side of each product. Demo: I will prepare an open-source repo with prompts and code. We will go from idea "Todo app for property managers" to - identifying the ideal customer profile - customer research based on ICP - identifying the value prop - identifying distribution channels - visual brand identity - generating 5 design directions - landing page - 5 variations based on brand For a five minute demo, I think I would need to scope this down to 2 or 3 most valuable/interesting workflows
