# GIMP prend les ARM de Warp pour coder des app de maraichage open source avec l'IA

**In one sentence:** Episode 129 of Clever Cloud's MACI podcast covers Warp 10, AI coding with Windsurf, GIMP 3.0, Brinjel and SoftBank buying Ampere. Erwan presents Brinjel and argues it gives farmers back control over their data.

## TL;DR
Host Horacio Gonzalez says the episode was recorded on 28 March 2025; it was published on 18 April. Mathias Herberts (SenX) presents Warp 10, its integrations, an AI assistant and what is new in release 3.5.0. Erwan describes using Warp 10's Fourier transform to check handpan notes during a stopover at Abidjan airport. The hosts then discuss coding with Windsurf: their view is that it helps experienced developers more than beginners. Erwan presents Brinjel, an open-source crop-planning tool for market gardeners, which he adapted to Clever Cloud with Windsurf in half a day. The episode ends with GIMP 3.0, SoftBank's purchase of Ampere Computing, ARM servers and RISC-V. Erwan leaves before the end for another meeting.

## Erwan's key points
- He introduces himself as head of international growth at Clever Cloud, which he joined "a short year" earlier.
- He describes a trip where he and Steven, whom he calls Clever Cloud's CTO, were stuck at an airport. He was trying to write Rust code with Windsurf to check that a recorded handpan note contains its octave and its third. Steven suggested Warp 10's built-in Fourier transform, and it took them 30 minutes on the Abidjan airport connection.
- He calls Windsurf "a great tool" and "my new drug". Once an app is ready, he says, it can read Clever Cloud's documentation and add the commands needed to deploy, so "in one prompt you are in production". The downside: it sometimes hallucinates, loses context and "swings an axe" at the code before patching its own mistakes. His tip is to select the whole code and send it to Cascade so it gets the full context.
- He presents Brinjel: an open-source tool for planning market-garden crops, written in Elixir by an independent developer and offered as a hosted service.
- He argues that agriculture is already heavily connected (IoT sensors, tractor GPS). Farmers should keep control of their data so that buyers cannot use it to work out their margins and squeeze their prices.
- He sees the same need in many emerging countries that want to modernise farming without losing strategic autonomy. He expects open-source tools like Brinjel to be adapted locally, for example in Africa or South America.
- He had never written Elixir. In half a day, Windsurf added PostgreSQL 17, S3 object storage and Clever Cloud's mail service, the app went to production on Clever Cloud, and he opened merge requests for the main developer.
- He praises Brinjel for its polished interface and for fitting real needs, which he says is rare for such a niche open-source tool.
- Asked about the ChatGPT "Studio Ghibli" image filter, he says he has not tried it.
- Likely Erwan (mixed voice): technical people should play with AI coding tools. Otherwise the media space will fill up with non-technical people saying developers are useless, when these tools help most those who already understand development.

## Outline
- [00:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=0s) Introductions: Horacio, Erwan (international growth, about a year at Clever Cloud), Mathias Herberts (co-founder of SenX, maker of Warp 10) and Quentin Adam.
- [02:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=127s) Warp 10 basics: a platform for sensor and time-series data, about 12 years old, that runs standalone (even on a first-generation Raspberry Pi), in a "standalone+" mode, or distributed on FoundationDB.
- [05:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=327s) Integrations (Spark, Databricks, Trino, Kafka Streams, NiFi, Snowflake in progress), Discovery dynamic dashboards, a SaaS offer, and a natural-language AI assistant (its name is unclear in the captions).
- [09:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=578s) Erwan's story of the handpan note checked with Warp 10's Fourier transform while waiting for a flight.
- [11:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=672s) Warp 10 is at the core of Clever Cloud's observability and of Materia TS. The hosts cover BUCKETIZE for resampling messy sensor data and fraud detection at a bank.
- [14:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=858s) Release 3.5.0: a generic key-value store, FILL speeded up from about 47 s to 300 ms on a test case, and FoundationDB metrics contributed by Clever Cloud.
- [17:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=1067s) About 1,300 built-in functions (Fourier, linear regression, quaternions, LTTB downsampling, RTFM), usable outside Warp 10 too.
- [21:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=1286s) AI-assisted development: Copilot, Cursor, JetBrains, then Windsurf, a VS Code fork from the Codeium team. A participant describes building whole internal tools without typing code.
- [25:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=1543s) Experienced developers get more out of these tools ("like a junior next to me").
- [27:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=1634s) Erwan: Windsurf reads Clever Cloud's docs to deploy an app in one prompt; hallucinations and "axe blows" are the downside.
- [29:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=1754s) Strict compilers (Rust, TypeScript) help the AI. Tips: ask the model whether it has questions; remember that LLMs keep no memory and the editor resends the context; keep files small; roll back to earlier steps.
- [34:39](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2079s) AI as a prototyping tool, compared with 3D printing during the ventilator project; security reviews; startups; why technical people should engage with AI rather than dismiss it.
- [38:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2336s) Results by language (Scala weaker, Rust good) and Gemini's large context window in Windsurf.
- [40:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2405s) GIMP 3.0: non-destructive editing, no AI marketing, a long-lived community. Erwan has not tried the Ghibli filter.
- [44:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2644s) Erwan presents Brinjel, data sovereignty in farming, and his Windsurf port of Brinjel to Clever Cloud.
- [47:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2839s) A DevFest Toulouse keynote on farming tech. The hosts discuss farmers' data, John Deere (compared with the F-35's maintenance lock-in) and lobbying in Brussels.
- [52:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=3160s) SoftBank buys Ampere Computing: SoftBank's history (Aldebaran, WeWork, ARM) and how ARM licensing works.
- [56:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=3403s) Renée James and Ampere's ARM-server vision; ARM's low power use; memories of Guillemot/Hercules ARM netbooks.
- [1:00:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=3642s) Ampere core density, Clever Cloud tests, interest in a European ARM chip, and what the deal could mean.
- [1:05:02](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=3902s) RISC-V: an open ISA, backed by China and the European Commission; Framework's RISC-V mainboard.
- [1:09:46](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=4186s) Erwan leaves for another meeting; outro.

## Questions this answers
**Q: What is Brinjel and why does Erwan Rougeux recommend it?**
A: Brinjel is an open-source crop-planning tool for market gardeners, written in Elixir. Erwan recommends it because it lets farmers keep control of their data and could be localised for emerging countries. See [44:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2644s).

**Q: How did Erwan Rougeux deploy Brinjel on Clever Cloud?**
A: He had never written Elixir, so he asked Windsurf to add PostgreSQL 17, S3 storage and Clever Cloud's mail service. In half a day the app was in production, and he sent the changes upstream as merge requests. See [46:08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2768s).

**Q: Can an AI editor like Windsurf deploy an app to Clever Cloud?**
A: Erwan says yes: when the app is ready, Windsurf reads Clever Cloud's documentation, works out the runtime (Rust, Node.js…) and adds the needed commands, so one prompt puts it in production. See [27:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=1634s).

**Q: Can Warp 10 analyse audio, such as musical notes?**
A: Yes. Erwan describes splitting a handpan recording into short chunks and using Warp 10's Fourier transform to check the note, its octave and its third. It took about 30 minutes at an airport. See [09:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=578s).

**Q: What is new in Warp 10 3.5.0?**
A: Mathias Herberts lists a generic key-value store in every edition, much faster FILL (from about 47 s to 300 ms on a test case) and FoundationDB metrics contributed by Clever Cloud. See [14:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=858s).

**Q: Do AI coding tools like Windsurf replace developers?**
A: The hosts say no: experienced developers get the most out of them, and the tool acts like a fast junior who needs guidance. It is strongest on boilerplate, documentation, prototyping and strictly compiled languages. See [25:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=1543s).

**Q: Why does farm data sovereignty matter?**
A: Erwan argues that buyers can use farm data to squeeze farmers' prices. The hosts add that big equipment makers such as John Deere control both the data and the firmware. See [45:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2719s) and [48:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=2910s).

**Q: Why does SoftBank buying Ampere Computing matter?**
A: The hosts see it as SoftBank pairing ARM with a strong ARM server chip, which could make ARM servers mainstream rather than marginal. See [52:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZEe6CMOV78&t=3160s).
