About

I'm Adam Kinney. I've been building software for over 25 years — at Microsoft on developer tools and platform teams, at Stripe on developer experience, and now independently building AI agents.

What I'm Building

My main project is Obi, a Chief of Staff agent that handles scheduling, research, content, and operations across my work. Obi runs on a Linux server, coordinates with multiple services, and keeps getting more capable as I wire up new integrations.

I also tinker with OpenClaw and other agent frameworks — testing where they break, figuring out how they actually work at the edges, and writing up what I find.

What This Site Is

Every article on this site comes from a real fix session. I hit a problem while building, fix it with Claude Code in what I call "surgeon mode," then capture the session as a structured article. Every tool is version-pinned. Every code sample is security-scrubbed. Every fix is something I actually ran in production.

The articles are optimized for both human developers and AI agents — structured data, clean semantic HTML, and explicit environment blocks so you (or your agent) can match solutions to your exact stack.
