Micha Hernandez van Leuffen is a serial founder-operator who currently leads Fiberplane while investing through NP-Hard Ventures, bringing hands-on experience from building and selling Wercker (a container-native CI/CD platform acquired by Oracle) to his investment approach. As a recognized thought leader on developer-first observability and modern incident response, he combines deep technical expertise in DevOps with specific pattern recognition around scaling infrastructure companies to strategic exits.
What they've been talking about across their social media accounts

- Prioritizes autonomous coding workflows and the concept of software factories driven by artificial intelligence. Believes that AI agents require strict codebase constraints rather than just improved prompting, noting from his experience integrating Claude that coding agents perform much better when the codebase is highly explicit and structured.
- Champions documentation integrity to prevent reference materials from decaying as code rapidly changes. Views documentation as production infrastructure and highlights an open source tool named Drift that securely anchors text documents directly to source code using syntax aware fingerprinting instead of relying on expensive language model checks.
- Advocates for markdown as the essential foundation for human and machine collaboration. Predicts this format will dominate developer workflows because artificial intelligence tools read plain text specs and brainstorming documents as context to execute software engineering tasks efficiently without bloating memory.
- Focuses on reinventing issue tracking for developers using artificial intelligence, arguing that legacy ticketing systems are obsolete. Shares examples of developing a tool named fp that relies on local diff reviews and lightning fast keyboard navigation so developers can avoid browser round trips and preserve context windows when reviewing AI generated code.

Notable Investments
NP-Hard Ventures is a €25M fund led by repeat technical entrepreneurs who previously founded and exited multiple software companies, then invested as angels in 50+ startups before formalizing their dedicated early-stage fund. They focus exclusively on highly technical, product-obsessed founding teams building core infrastructure like dev tools, industrial automation, and APIs across Europe and the US, positioning themselves as non-lead specialists who collaborate with founders rather than compete to lead rounds.
