One of the good things about participating at RC is that you can work on anything you want. Yesterday I spent some time on the open PRs I had gotten on my side projects.

• A PR on my fast sqlite inserts project improved the performance by ~22%, bringing down the insertion time to 23s!
• A PR on grpc-errors repo fixed the Go examples to make it work with newer versions of golang, go mod, and gRPC
