Per spec discussed in chat. Three different treatments, one drive.

index.html — short Leitsatz

New mantra paragraph below the existing lede:

Mein Fokus liegt auf langlebigen technischen Strukturen: Wissen aus Silos holen, Komplexität erklärbar machen und Teams so befähigen, dass Systeme nicht von einzelnen Schlüsselpersonen abhängen.

Set in serif italic, 2 px wine-accent left rule, muted text colour — reads as a personal statement, not a second factual sentence. Wired through render_index() as a mantra template variable + .cv--index .mantra CSS rule.

cv-executive.de.html — full motivation section

  • Profil first sentence rewritten to lead with „Aufbau resilienter technischer Organisationen" so the framing is visible above the fold.
  • New ## Was mich antreibt section between Profil and Kernkompetenzen, four paragraphs covering: structural anti-fragility (no hidden-knowledge / single-person / accidental-history dependency); long-lived structures, documented decisions, teams operational under growth/change/load; leadership as multiplier (platforms/standards/processes that reduce mental load, share responsibility); opening the black box (measure and explain new tooling so others can decide).

cv-technical.de.html — sharper, no separate motivation block

The technical CV expresses the same stance as evidence rather than as prose:

  • Profil sentence extended to explicitly name „Wissen sichtbar machen, implizite Abhängigkeiten reduzieren, technische Entscheidungsprozesse strukturieren".
  • Ausgewählte Beiträge adds three new bullets: systematic silo dismantling via documentation/RFC/internal KB, building resilient delivery / single-point-of-failure reduction, structured evaluation/operationalization of new technology. The existing knowledge-base bullet is rewritten to make the purpose explicit („zur Reduktion impliziter Wissensabhängigkeiten").

Verified

  • Lighthouse desktop preset: 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 on index, executive, technical.
  • CLS: 0.
  • Markdown abbr extension continues to wrap CTO, RFC, AI, IAM, CMS, DR/BCP, etc. inside the new prose.
  • No structured-data changes — Person.description and Occupation.skills already cover the motivation surface for crawlers and LLMs from feat(seo,a11y): schema fixes, content enrichment, abbreviation tooltips #8.

Per user spec — incorporate the 'what drives me' framing where it
sharpens each page's purpose, without leaking into the others:

index.html: short Leitsatz only.
- New mantra paragraph below the existing lede:
  'Mein Fokus liegt auf langlebigen technischen Strukturen: Wissen
  aus Silos holen, Komplexität erklärbar machen und Teams so
  befähigen, dass Systeme nicht von einzelnen Schlüsselpersonen
  abhängen.'
- Visually set apart as a serif italic with a 2 px wine-accent left
  rule and muted text colour, so it reads as a personal statement
  rather than a second factual sentence.

cv-executive.de.md: full motivation section.
- Profil first sentence rewritten to lead with 'Aufbau resilienter
  technischer Organisationen' so the framing is visible above the
  fold.
- New '## Was mich antreibt' section between Profil and
  Kernkompetenzen, four paragraphs:
    * the structural anti-fragility motivation (no single-person /
      hidden-knowledge / accidental-history dependency)
    * positive framing — long-lived structures, decisions documented,
      teams operational under growth, change, load
    * leadership as multiplier — platforms / standards / processes
      that reduce mental load, share responsibility, make space for
      experimentation
    * opening the black box — measuring and explaining new tooling
      so others can decide; technology must be functional AND
      legible AND respectful

cv-technical.de.md: same stance, expressed as evidence.
- Profil sentence extended: now explicitly names 'Wissen sichtbar
  machen, implizite Abhängigkeiten reduzieren, technische
  Entscheidungsprozesse strukturieren'.
- 'Ausgewählte Beiträge' adds three new bullets framing the same
  motivation in operational terms: silo dismantling, resilient
  delivery / single-point-of-failure reduction, structured
  evaluation / operationalization of new technology. The
  knowledge-base bullet is also rewritten to make the *purpose*
  explicit ('zur Reduktion impliziter Wissensabhängigkeiten').

Verified: Lighthouse desktop preset still 100 / 100 / 100 / 100 on
both pages, CLS 0. Markdown abbr extension continues to wrap CTO,
RFC, AI, etc. inside the new prose.

No structured-data changes in this PR — Person.description and
Occupation.skills already cover the motivation surface for crawlers
and LLMs from PR #8.

Pull request overview

Adds a consistent “motivation” narrative across the site by introducing a short Leitsatz on the index page, a dedicated motivation section in the executive CV, and more explicitly framed “evidence” bullets in the technical CV.

Changes:

  • Index: introduces a new mantra paragraph rendered via render_index() and styled with a left accent rule + muted italic serif.
  • Executive CV: rewrites the profile framing and inserts a new “Was mich antreibt” section between Profil and Kernkompetenzen.
  • Technical CV: extends the profile statement and sharpens “Ausgewählte Beiträge” bullets to reflect the same motivation through concrete contributions.
