I've spent nearly 25 years building software and leading product and engineering teams — from scrappy bootstrapped ventures to global public companies. 

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.

The Pope doesn't want priests using ChatGPT to write sermons. 

In a closed door meeting, he warned of the "temptation to prepare homilies with artificial intelligence".

The priests reportedly replied "You're absolutely right—and thank you for calling me out. It's insights like this that make you a natural leader. And honestly? You're so brave."

In all seriousness, I couldn't agree more.

This quote stood out to me. 

"The brain needs to be used, so our intelligence must also be exercised a little so as not to lose this capacity."

Use your brain, or let it atrophy.

The best advice my dad ever gave me was "Son, there should be a newsletter that finds high-performing LinkedIn content from SaaS founders and explains WHY they're great." 

It's excellent advice, and we listened.

The format is simple. 

We'll find the best LinkedIn content, explain why it's great, and do this a few times a month.

In return, you read it, so I can make my parents proud.

s/o Sophie Brown for pulling this together.

Claude has an outage. If you suddenly find you can't do your job today, it's time to have an uncomfortable conversation.

You might need to start using Google Gemini instead.

Someone asked me “How many hours a week do you work?” 

My answer was “Yes.”

I am literally always working. 

Aside from sleeping, eating, commuting, spending time with my wife and kids, vacationing, breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, hanging out with friends, checking my phone, going to the movies, grabbing a drink, taking a walk, and whatever else I might do besides working, I am working every waking moment. 

That’s what it takes to succeed.

Huge news. Microsoft just announced you can integrate Anthropic's Claude cowork into Microsoft Copilot.

Now, you can use Claude within Cowork within Microsoft 365 Copilot, like a normal sane person.

The 15 million people forced to use Copilot because their work pays for it and the 37 consumer users are going to love this.

"AI automated the meaningless tasks. Now you can focus on more important work"
 
AI just automated the important work too
 
"Oh, well that gives you more time to focus on strategy"
 
AI automated the strategy
 
"Well you must have all this free time for creative wo-"
 
AI does all the creative work
 
"Ah! Well, nevertheless..."

One thing I've learned from talking with startup founders this year.

Everyone is thinking about the same thing.

Everyone is thinking about how AI will impact their business.

Everyone is wondering if they're actually positioned to benefit from AI, or get devoured by it.

I promise you, if someone says "Well, these industries will get eaten up, but conveniently, MY industry is safe" they're still thinking about it.

No one knows anything. And if they do, it's probably outdated next month.

I'm pleased to announce I received $1.35 back in rewards in about 1 second.

This is ~$42 million in ARR.

Raising $250 million at $1 billion pre. Accepting checks via carrier pigeon only.

AI writes all my code now, and I just spend a ton of time reviewing it (3 minutes).

That means I'll never again experience the rage of finding a thread like this with the fix for the exact issue I'm facing in my code.

Bittersweet.
