I'm still really excited for the reach my blog has gotten. My consistent writing hasn't been easy but if I go back and read the earlier posts from oldest to most recent I see a dramatic improvement in technical depth, writing style, length, focus, etc. My recent posts are dramatically better, in my opinion. So back to the question, I'm excited about many of the ideas that I still have. I'm excited to jump into websockets, the guts of HTTP/2, QUIC and HTTP/3.

I'm also excited to expand what I'm doing with protoc-gen-connect-openapi. OpenAPI has in-app documentation tooling, so why can't protobuf?

And with FauxRPC, I'm excited to flesh the project out. I need to write a few articles showing how to use it as a Go library, set up stub responses, and start work on some new features. I have an idea of writing a protobuf editor that instantly makes a mock server as you type the protobuf. If that wasn't enough, I also want to make something that takes a set of stub requests and responses in JSON and generates protobuf out of them.

I'm also excited to get trailer support finished for servers in quic-go. I think it's in a pretty good state, but still needs more reviewing. I know there are parallel efforts for implementing QUIC into the Go standard library but it's super exciting to be the one to first enable gRPC over HTTP/3 in Go.
