Hello, I'm Manuel

Software Engineer  ·  Command Liner  ·  Automation Lover


I'm a software engineer currently focused on web development, with roots in C++ and high-performance applications. Passionate about fast, efficient workflows and terminal-based tools like Neovim, tmux, and lazygit for their performance and simplicity. I prefer lean architectures and maintainable code over bloated dependencies.

Curious by nature, I like to understand how entire projects come together - how disciplines, frameworks, and people interact to create something functional and lasting. This drive for automation naturally led me to explore DevOps on a deeper level.

If you would like to see my public repositories, please visit my GitLab page.
I moved all my code on 2026-05-02.
Why???
Short version: Because Microsoft sucks!!!
Long version: Read below.

Why I moved all my code on 2026-05-02...

Microsoft has ignored user requests for years.
Requests that have accumulated thousands of comments (you can find plenty of them right here on GitHub). They have gradually destroyed GitHub and, most recently, corrupted commit histories and merges.
Because of this, I moved all my repositories to GitLab and deleted everything here on GitHub.

Furthermore, I am done with Microsoft for good. As a senior IT professional, I know from extensive experience: if you absolutely want a lot of problems, or if you're determined to drastically reduce your company's profitability, bring Microsoft products into your organization.

From a technical standpoint, there is of course WSL2. But anyone who has truly worked in depth with effective workflows on UNIX systems knows that Windows with WSL2 is a half-hearted attempt that falls short.
From a business perspective, Microsoft certainly makes tempting offers, but the costs arising from maintenance, teething problems, extremely poor workflow efficiency, and abysmal data privacy are unmatched.
There are more than enough mature alternatives today that are better and more cost-effective than Microsoft - regardless of the size of your company.

So if you are serious as a person or as a business, switch to GitLab or host your own VCS - and get rid of Microsoft's crap entirely.
