Show Ship Done
I'm writing a book about the way my teams have built software over the past three decades — a methodology that's emerged from shipping products across networking, streaming, video, hiring, and healthcare.
What it's about
Over the years, a bunch of people have asked me to write down how we build software. So I am.
Show Ship Done isn't a framework you buy or a certification you hang on the wall. It's a way of working that my teams have developed and refined across very different companies and industries — from carrier-grade networking hardware to HD streaming platforms to AI-powered clinical tools. The core idea is simple: make your work visible, ship constantly, and finish what you start. The hard part is making that actually work in practice, across real teams, with real constraints.
I'm writing it for engineers, engineering leaders, founders, and anyone who's ever felt the gap between how teams are supposed to build software and how they actually do.

Build the book with me
I'm thinking about building a community of people who care about how software actually gets built — engineers, leaders, founders, and builders. If you're interested in being part of the conversation as the book takes shape, reach out. I'm still figuring out the right format, and I'd love input.
