    People don't make these decisions for technical reasons only. Career wise it is a bad choice to spend your time working on pre-existing technologies. You don't become a distinguished engineer by iterating on existing technologies. You become one by being the creator of something new.

    I think QUIC is great and does a good job solving the problems it was designed to solve. It is disingenuous to pretend these decisions were made only for technical reasons.

    Is it possible to compile quicly cli (referenced in the blog post) with musl instead of glibc. I had to add signal.h and it then compiled successfully but I got illegal instruction segfault when executing cli.
