From Scratch in Bavaria: Rebooting with Airberry TLTR: Started from zero: me, laptop, router in Bavaria. Airberry reboot: lean, focused, built small. Chose control over scale. No chaos, just mastery. Sustainable wins. Thoughts on restarting? Comment. Long-Version: I started from zero in Bavaria. No factory. No team. Just me, a laptop, and a router on the table. The setup was stripped down, basic, almost humble. But the mission never died. That fire to build wireless tech that connects and endures stayed strong. After the highs and crashes of the early years, I needed a reset. Airberry was that reboot. Lean. Focused. Designed to stay small and agile. This time, scale wasn't the goal. I had chased big before. Massive factories, teams of twenty, million-euro deals. It brought wins, but it also brought chaos I couldn't control. Lessons from Saxnet and MeshNode taught me hard truths. Growth can swallow you if you're not ready. With Airberry, I flipped the script. I wanted control. Every decision mine. Every code line vetted by me. No bloated operations, no endless debt. Just pure focus on crafting secure, reliable WiFi systems that solve real problems. Bavaria's calm gave me space to rebuild. Quiet hills, fresh air, a far cry from the factory roar. I dove into the work. Prototyping routers, testing networks, refining the tech. Airberry wasn't about dominating markets. It was about mastery. Building something sustainable, something that fit my life with Mona, the kids, and Fritz bounding around. The goth rebel in me found peace in this simplicity. Raw creation without the crush. Control meant freedom, the kind I craved since hacking school networks at 18. Today, Airberry hums along. Small by design, strong by choice. It's proof that starting over isn't failure. It's evolution. Want to know more about Airberry's tech or the reboot mindset?
