-I actually started Jedi back in 2012, because there were no good solutions
-available for VIM.  Most auto-completions just didn't work well. The only good
-solution was PyCharm.  But I like my good old VIM. Rope was never really
-intended to be an auto-completion (and also I really hate project folders for
-my Python scripts).  It's more of a refactoring suite. So I decided to do my
-own version of a completion, which would execute non-dangerous code. But I soon
-realized, that this would not work. So I started working with a lot of
-recursion to to understands many of Python's key features.
-
-By the way, I really tried to program it as understandable as possible. But I
-think understanding it might need quite some time, because of its recursive
-nature.

+The Star Wars Jedi are awesome. My Jedi software tries to imitate a little bit
+of the precognition the Jedi have. There's even an awesome `scene
+<https://youtu.be/yHRJLIf7wMU>`_ of Monty Python Jedis :-).
+
+But actually the name has not much to do with Star Wars. It's part of my
+second name Jedidjah.
+
+I actually started Jedi back in 2012, because there were no good solutions
+available for VIM. Most auto-completion solutions just did not work well. The
+only good solution was PyCharm. But I liked my good old VIM very much. There
+was also a solution called Rope that did not work at all for me. So I decided
+to write my own version of a completion engine.
+
+The first idea was to execute non-dangerous code. But I soon realized, that
+this would not work. So I started to build a static analysis tool.
+The biggest problem that I had at the time was that I did not know a thing
+about parsers.I did not did not even know the word static analysis. It turns
+out they are the foundation of a good static analysis tool. I of course did not
+know that and tried to write my own poor version of a parser that I ended up
+throwing away two years later.
+
+Because of my lack of knowledge, everything after 2012 and before 2020 was
+basically refactoring. I rewrote the core parts of Jedi probably like 5-10
+times. The last big rewrite (that I did twice) was the inclusion of
+gradual typing and stubs.
+
+I learned during that time that it is crucial to have a good understanding of
+your problem. Otherwise you just end up doing it again. I only wrote features
+in the beginning and in the end. Everything else was bugfixing and refactoring.
+However now I am really happy with the result. It works well, bugfixes can be
+quick and is pretty much feature complete.
+
+--------
+
+I will leave you with a small annectote that happend in 2012, if I remember
+correctly. After I explained Guido van Rossum, how some parts of my
+auto-completion work, he said:
+
+    *"Oh, that worries me..."*
+
+Now that it is finished, I hope he likes it :-).
