Summary
Quoting another of the rules for standards-makers, Dave explains his shift toward building software: specs only make sense with software. Podping is useless as a standard without it. On podcastindex.social, developers write software and create specs as they go. For comments, running software will show what the final spec should be, so everyone can code against something proven on day one.

when we're finished, we'll we'll have a spec that's proven to work, we'll know it works. And then we can put that in the namespace. And then everybody immediately on day one can begin to code against it and know for a fact that it's going to be something doable.
