A newsletter for people running teams

Each week, I handpick must-reads for anyone orchestrating teams, people, and priorities in the digital workplace — whether you’re driving roadmaps, running sprints, leading departments, or just trying to keep the wheels turning. You’ll get a mix of forward-looking takes on AI and the future of work, plus practical insights you can put to use today.

Steady

Steady is an AI-native coordination platform for teams, cutting through noise to create flow so teams can sync, deliver, and thrive.

Modern work is stuck. Everyday, teams like yours spend 53% of their time in meetings, interruptions, and data silos to piece together the context they need to get work done, all at the cost of actually getting work done.

Studies show it's a bigger problem than just productivity: every IC is spending 5 weeks a year doing duplicative work, 39% of key performers are planning on leaving in the next 90 days, and misaligned teams generate 60% less revenue per team member.

Steady fixes this.

Built by veterans of distributed work, Steady's coordination agents automatically deliver the real-time context every team member needs. We shape relevant data from your existing tools with human insight, then distribute distilled, personalized briefs that give everyone predictive clarity — what's happening, what's next, and what matters most.

The result? 72% less time spent on coordination, 5X faster execution, better quality work, happier people, and 2.5X more revenue per employee.

Steady doesn't just improve alignment — it transforms how teams work, all without switching tools, bossware vibes, or expensive training.

I founded Steady in 2022 and serve as the CEO.

Continuous Coordination

The pandemic changed how we work, but we're still stuck with 2010s collaboration processes that slow down teams and kill innovation. We need a fresh approach.

I partnered with other tech leaders to create Continuous Coordination — a modern framework designed to provide teams with the right context at the right time, without drowning in dashboards and meetings.

Using structured async communication and proven principles for teamwork, teams stay productive, aligned, and engaged while working alongside their existing tools and processes.

Continuous Coordination is open-source, your input is welcome!

About me

I've spent nearly 25 years building software and leading product and engineering teams — from scrappy bootstrapped ventures to global public companies. (Follow me on LinkedIn for the particulars.)

Through successes, failures, and a lot of learning, I've been fortunate to work alongside world-class engineers, creatives, and leaders. That experience taught me what truly moves the progress needle: helping teams and people cut through the noise and align around shared context and meaningful work.

Today, I'm channeling that into Steady — an AI-native platform for coordinating digital teams without the overhead. Steady implements a set of open-source principles I helped develop called Continuous Coordination. Steady is a modern, human-first approach to work that aligns people with real-time context and helps teams deliver better and faster — without burnout.
