1) Give it a task
2) see what it does
3) read up on the documentation to understand it
4) repeat

This book is amazing - goes over truly everything, from systemd, permission systems, SSO, security, cloud deployments to data center ops and ethernet cable shielding. Wild.

My common frustration with ATProto apps at the moment is this. I don’t want to grant you access to modify and delete all of my data. I know that more scoped permissions are coming, but right now this makes me feel like I can’t get involved in the Atmosphere.

@expo.dev dev server with in-built @ngrok.com tunnel must be the best feature ever.

Just pnpm run start -- --tunnel, scan QR code and you're back to developing, no wires, no installation, nothing.
