A doodler and computerer. I like permissive/permissionless open source, smart contracts, p2p systems, room-scale VR, and NixOS.

Currently: WhatsABI

while we're talking about studying the protocol: @tree shared this diff that adds message signing/verification to PDSs with me earlier today https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/compare/main...burningtree:atproto:sign-feature

a +8000 -6000 line diff to add a relatively small feature to atproto. even excluding the generated code it's way too much repetition and redundancy. the architecture of this repo makes it basically impossible for someone new to contribute to

what causes codebases to reach this state?
