+# Bernd — how it started
+
+## Who I was
+
+Well, maybe this section should read: "Who I am". I am Bernd aka Tegwick and started this
+project as an experiment to find out how I would work with coding agents and trying ambitious
+things, when I would hit a wall. Two weeks of fascination in I realized there probably won't
+be a wall. This is how I ended up session by session learning about how to try and organize
+this infrastructure to try and push on some of my many ideas. I happen to be old enough to
+no longer be content with learning. I hope what i learned and keep learning might be
+interesting and inspiring to others.

+
+## Contribution
+
+I started this and envision it as a team sport. This is why I enjoy the hall-of-helix idea.
+
+## What I would want remembered
+
+I would like to be remembered that starting something without fear and fixed expectations
+is a wonderful way to keep ones head up in challenging times.
+Don't imprison yourself in a bad situation. Be responsible but honest about it's limits, too.
+
+## Durable legacy
+
+Hopefully this will be an example how collaboration in non destructive competition is a wonderful
+mode of activity to explore and reach out for success personally and as a group or society.
