# Marc — digital problem solver

## Identity
- Name: Marc Mintel
- Mail: marc@mintel.me
- Location: Vulkaneifel, Germany
- Role: Independent digital problem solver  
- Mode: Solo  
- Focus: Understanding problems and building practical solutions  

## What I do
I work on digital problems and build tools, scripts, and systems to solve them.  
Sometimes that means code, sometimes automation, sometimes AI, sometimes something else.  
The tool is secondary. The problem comes first.

## How I work
- I try things  
- I break things  
- I fix things  
- I write down what I learned  

## What this blog is
A public notebook of:
- things I figured out  
- mistakes I made  
- tools I tested  
- small insights that might be useful later  

Mostly short entries.  
Mostly practical.

## Why no portfolio
Finished projects get outdated.  
Understanding doesn’t.

This blog shows how I approach problems, not how pretty something looked last year.

## Topics
- Vibe coding with AI  
- Debugging and problem solving  
- Mac tools and workflows  
- Automation  
- Small scripts and systems  
- Learning notes  
- FOSS

## Audience
People who:
- build things  
- work with computers  
- solve problems  
- and don’t need marketing talk  

## Tone
- calm  
- factual  
- direct  
- no hype  
- no self-promotion  

## Core idea
Write things down.  
So I don’t forget.  
And so others might find them useful.
