Requests for Comments (RFCs) are how we specify many protocols on the Internet. These documents are alternatively treated as holy texts by developers who parse them for hidden meanings, then shunned as irrelevant because they can’t be understood. This often leads to frustration and – more significantly – interoperability and security issues. However, with some insight into how they’re constructed and published, it’s a bit easier to understand what you’re looking at.

HTTP Semantics
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a stateless application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypertext information systems. This document describes the overall architecture of HTTP, establishes common terminology, and defines aspects of the protocol that are shared by all versions. In this definition are core protocol elements, extensibility mechanisms, and the "http" and "https" Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) schemes. This document updates RFC 3864 and obsoletes RFCs 2818, 7231, 7232, 7233, 7235, 7538, 7615, 7694, and portions of 7230.

RFCs on the Atmosphere
I was recently working on an RFC for some open source work and didn't have a good place to post it. Google Docs is annoying for anything technical and a git repo is heavy if you don't already have one set up and a process ready to go.
Comments are a basic web feature. So why aren’t they solved on ATProto yet?
Comments are about as old and basic as the social web gets, so I assumed ATProto would have them figured out. It doesn’t, not yet. Here is my take on why standard.site deferred comments on pu…

Understanding AT Protocol
I’ve been playing around with AT Protocol. The posts on this site are now published to standard.site, and I’ve written a (very basic) WordPress plugin to display posts from my PDS on the Now page of this site.
