who

i’m manfred. i build tools and infrastructure that help people coordinate and create. i write go, contribute to gno.land, and believe software should empower more than it controls.

what i believe about software

tools with purpose: simple is strong. one task, done well. most complexity is fear in disguise.

people over code: write like someone’s reading. clarity is kindness. open source is shared trust, made real.

make, break, learn: ship the messy version. learn in public. start again. it’s the trying that teaches.

resilient by design: infrastructure shapes us. build for what lasts. invite others in. leave space to grow.

freedom feels better: create without permission. work that brings joy lasts longer. integrity matters. fun matters.

break gently: some things need breaking. some need care. often, they’re the same.
