# 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.
