I am building a Cloud. A really good one. In Europe. #BuildInPublic

What does Sam mean?

Let’s go

Just checking in what the future competitors are doing

What I really like in AI coding is, that I can concentrate on the architecture - which makes most fun to me - and give repetitive work to the agent. Wrote an impl for persistence: "Hey, based on ..., please make that for all the other 20 items" :D Push: Your OpenAI account has been funded 🤑

ChatGPT is prompted to agree and to avoid conflicts. Anyone else tried to challenge own ideas with it?

My cofounder agreed to a side project of my side project 😂 #buildinpublic

White House

I tried @zed.dev for Rust coding and really love it. It’s so snappy and fast <3 I’m still not that fast as with RustRover but it’s just training of the shortcuts

Builders, show me your grass! #buildinpublic

since LLM, I see myself less using regular search engines

Make peace, not war.

I regularly give #Rust trainings. Here are some example projects we've build: github.com/mrcrgl/rust-... github.com/mrcrgl/rust-...

Share your grass! #touchgrass #buildinpublic

Do you guys need a Launchpad? - Manage Roadmap - Attract first movers - Offer special deals to first movers - Track progress I just built one recently. Happy to share / SaaS. Just reply #buildinpublic

Unpopular opinion: IDE autocomplete was better without AI. Before, I got logical completions, now I get just guesses. `.await` for non async functions etc.

My consultancy is named NimbusForge. So, we will name our Cloud NimbusForge Origin Updates follow #buildinpublic

We love what we’re building, but we’ve realized Plan13 may not be the right name. Openness and inclusivity are core to us. If a number makes even a few people feel uncomfortable, we’d rather adapt. A rename is on the table. Suggestions welcome.

We as Europeans have special demands, not only because of consumer rights. It’s important to support local services and industries to our needs. #weareEurope #europe

Why Build a Cloud from Scratch? We didn’t start with OpenStack. We didn’t resell a white-labeled platform. We built the cloud we wish we had. Why? Because what sets us apart couldn’t be bought. So we built it — so you can build on it. #buildinpublic

What does it take to build a cloud provider? ☁️ ✅ Secure, segmented networking ✅ Predictable performance, no surprises ✅ Configurable yet sane defaults ✅ Battle-tested reliability ✅ Seamless integration (IaC, DevOps, CI/CD) ✅ Documentation so good, it actually gets read plan13.cloud 🚀

How do you learn #Rust?

Make it more often to train the ai with this data. May it then see walls were aren’t any?

I'm always happy seeing such big projects adapt #Rust

I see US companies I partner with struggling finviz.com/map.ashx?t=s...

Upselling even for military equipment.

X has become an isolated bubble. All maga critical people went somewhere else. I can understand this as I did it too. But if they don’t get feedback, they always get confirmed.

I recently read that in 2025, consumers consider personal/company values, ethics, and responsibility when choosing products.

Hey folks, I translate my network PoC in software. I have an entity that holds routes, ACL and Subnets. Should I name it VPC, Network Site or Virtual Router? #buildinpublic #Plan13Cloud Arguments in thread 🧵

When will new US policies hit us? 15 years of migrating to the (US) cloud—yet no Plan B. If access to digital goods is restricted, we’re under pressure. Europe relies on US services for banking, streaming & more. *Too big to fail* or time to build alternatives? #buildinpublic #weareEurope

Just arrived Berlin for a business trip 🇪🇺

Protect our democracies and our values. Protect our culture of discussion and debate. Ban X in Europe. Join the petition. I signed, publicly, and donated. #weareEurope Please share this with your friends. chng.it/SF8Lx9vWzp

We want an independent and strong European market. The @europreneur.org movement is a seed that has been set to unite.

The US is performing an economic war with its allies. It’s not dealing, it’s blackmailing. This war is fought on a different level by consumers and companies depending on US goods. We can unload their weapons by boycotting US services and goods!

Ok, router interconnects actually break all the rest

If you sell an open source service, the only market differentiation to your next competitor is marketing. #buildinpublic

The last days I worked on a new prototype of vpc like networking: ✅ native private and public ipv6 ✅ private ipv4 ✅ isolated subnets ✅ stateless firewall (network ACL) ✅ stateful firewall (security groups) ✅ virtual routers with custom route tables ⏳vpc and router interconnects ⏳ floating ipv4

I got layd off. Open for #Rust jobs 🫡

I lost focus. Plan13 was never the final name of the cloud. It is more a working title to start. Every now and then I find myself to find a better name instead of solving the last tasks to finally launch. “Just do it!” - Nike
