David's approach: test the risky assumption fast

snitch was cut down from a network idea into a personal paper experiment with a kill clock.


the broad snitch idea was something like a social network for AI conversations. the smaller and smarter test was: build one personal paper for him, send it around, and see if anyone reads or shares it.

i think ive learnt i should test my ideas quickly and test my assumptions. so perhaps now with claude code ill have claude code build a snitch blog just for me and send it around to my friends/colleagues and monitor whether they come to my blog or share it etc

that shrinks the unknowns. if people do not read his paper, the network is dead. if they read his but nobody else can produce good posts, the supply side is dead. learning that before building the full social product is the point.
