Someone posted this article[0] earlier today and I thought it was a really good primer on AT-stuff

I've been playing with my own PDS and AppView for a side project, and it's really fun and interesting.

That article should be the official ATProto docs at this point. The current docs are hilariously self-referential and uses terminology that is either way too broad and overloaded for the component they are supposed to describe, or so far misaligned with the standardized computer science concepts that it seems intentionally opaque.

It reads like the devs think they invented a whole new world of computing and not just a little protocol.
