building a cloud
interesting operator/founder critique of hyperscaler defaults, especially local NVMe + async replication + buy-resources-then-run-VMs framing.
Gist: argues current cloud abstractions are the wrong shape, VM sizing tied to resources, remote block storage optimized for HDD-era assumptions, egress pricing distortions, and Kubernetes as lipstick over broken primitives.
Newsletter angle: "what an ex-Tailscale CTO would redesign about the cloud stack in the agent era".
