Write code and the weird protocol turns out simple
Quote
as soon as you actually put some code in there, and see how it responds, you're like, oh, it is as easy as I thought it was. It's just just weird.
Episode 58: we got activity in the pub. It's all the work I have to do on Fridays (approx., from transcript intro) 00:39:42 (play audio from this timestamp, opens in a new tab)

Summary
ActivityPub has a strange learning curve: reading the spec it seems easy, real-world behavior looks baffling, but once you write code and watch how it responds it's as easy as you first thought, just weird.
