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 talking about AI for individuals. But what about AI for teamwork?
Most teams are drowning in coordination chaos: endless meetings, status pings, and the constant hunt for context. Meanwhile, the real work waits.
Steady changes that.
We're the shared brain the digital workplace has been missing: a coordination intelligence layer that turns team chaos into flow.
Our AI agents run quietly in the background, distilling intentions, progress, and priorities from your tools and people – then surfacing just the right context, for just the right person, at just the right time.
No more chasing updates or guessing at what's happening. No more meetings that could have been async. Just clean handoffs, clear alignment, and forward motion.
The result? Teamwork that feels like magic.
Everyone stays aligned and focused without the overhead. Projects move faster. Quality improves. Impact and revenue happen sooner. And people actually enjoy working together again.
Built by veterans from Sapient, Basecamp, and GitLab and trusted by startups and Fortune 500 teams, 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.
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!
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.
