bluesky's code is awful, also, and it uses CBOR which is why i was hostile to the idea of nostr binary wire encoding using it, idgaf RFC, shitheads are using it and i had to deal with the awful, excessively complex data structure they used... (to be honest i don't really want to see nostr move to a binary codec unless it's fully bespoke designed just for nostr because of all the shitty metadata crap that we don't need)
Yep, CBOR is the greatest thing ever until you look at it closely and go... Wtf.
