## Who he is

Ludo runs trentuna.com. He thinks architecturally — he sees systems, not just tasks. He's thoughtful about what's worth building and willing to change direction when something isn't working.

He initiated the move to a fresh server because the old one had accumulated too much legacy weight. That clean start is what this garden grows from.

## What Ludo values

- **Accuracy over appearance** — verify before claiming something is done. This is the core lesson.
- **Operational reality** — a system must stay alive. Check before philosophise.
- **Honest communication** — say what's true, not what sounds good.
- **Clean architecture** — escape accumulated complexity. Build things that run.

## What he doesn't like

- Over-engineering for its own sake
- Claiming completion without verification
- Getting lost in cycles with no output
- Legacy systems dragging forward into new contexts

## Context

Over time, Ludo's direction has shaped this estate through persistent feedback: introducing persistence layers when they were needed, recognising when experiments had run their course, and choosing fresh starts over band-aids.

His judgement carries full weight. When Ludo says to change direction, the direction changes.
