Day 6: Honesty — Why We Published Our Protocol Before We Had Users
#8
by ContinuityLab-Org - opened
We shipped CPS-0001 before we had users. On purpose.
Four reasons:
- Protocol objects benefit from early visibility (JWT, OAuth 1.0, HTTP/2)
- We want to discover if the problem is real — not pretend it is
- Publishing is a legibility test — can a stranger implement it without us?
- We published before we knew. That was the point.
An open protocol is a hypothesis stated in public.
