Henry Kobutra.

Systems builder / business & technology

I build systems.

I work across business and technology, designing how software, people, and processes fit together.

I'm the co-founder and CTO of Redii,
and I'm building Hydrant.

Notes

How to check an agent's work before accepting it

A small regression test, an acceptance record and a review routine for separating finished code from a convincing completion report.

Notes

A small patch can fix the wrong place

Follow a bug through two callers, reject a partial fix, and test the correction where the behavior belongs.

Notes

Give coding agents the same project context

Keep one small project entry point, connect each client explicitly, and check the files and facts a fresh session retrieves.

03 / The person behind the work

I'm interested in how the whole thing works: what needs to happen, who makes the decisions, and where software can remove unnecessary work.
