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.
Everyone's obsessing over AI for individual productivity. But what about AI that actually fixes teamwork?
Digital team leaders are losing control of their story. Twenty-one hours a week chasing updates, endless surprise-filled meetings, and bots defining your team's narrative instead of you. You're constantly putting out fires when you should be predicting outcomes and shaping how your work gets seen across the org.
We lived this nightmare building distributed teams. That's why we created Steady — AI that amplifies your judgment instead of replacing it, giving you hands-on-the-wheel confidence to predict what's next and own your team's story.
In just 5 minutes a day, teams stay aligned, projects move faster, and quality improves — without switching tools, bossware vibes, or expensive training. In the last year, we've helped teams from startups to Fortune 500s save 417 years of meetings and cut project delivery times in half.
I founded Steady with distributed work veterans from Sapient, Basecamp, and GitLab. If you lead a digital team and want better work — and a better story to tell — it's time to run Steady.
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 set of principles designed to provide teams with the right context at the right time, without drowning in dashboards and meetings.
Using structured async communication and proven patterns 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!
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.
