it's a 2 tier protocol world. (20250318)

HTTP/3 is everywhere but nowhere

i thought that IETF capture was less evident in the application protocol space. i was wrong. the shape and form of the capture is different, but we’re still seeing stratification in standards development.

fortunately, addressing at least some of the issues outlined here are well within the community’s grasp. it’s not like this stuff needs to happen inside an ASIC.

more broadly, this is a great summary of the state of HTTP/3 for someone who doesn’t pay much attention to it these days.
