Seattle, WA

I'm Gene Conroy-Jones. Startup CTO, PhD, 25 years building and fixing engineering organisations across FinTech, AdTech, MarTech, and ConTech. Two acquisitions, one $35M Series B. I still ship code.

I write and build in the open at Four Signals: engineering leadership through four lenses, People, Process, Architecture, and Measure.

What your sponsorship supports

awesome-apm-stacks: APM, the Agent Package Manager. NPM for agentic artifacts. A team defines its skills, agents, hooks, and coding standards once, then installs them everywhere. It targets AI configuration sprawl: the prompts and tool configs that pile up across a team with no version control and no shared source of truth.

Around it sits the rest of the open work: field notes on agentic tooling, AI adoption, and legacy modernisation, plus the agents that run the site itself (Lionel, the news digest, the publishing pipeline).

Why sponsor

The stacks and the writing stay free. Sponsorship pays for maintenance time, keeps the writing independent of vendors, and funds the next tool instead of the next consulting hour.

@thinkjones

Fund a steady block of maintenance time each month on awesome-apm-stacks, and keep the Four Signals field notes free and vendor-independent.
