Keeping Steady is a newsletter for engineering managers doing the hardest version of the job: leading through layoffs, bigger teams, and “do more with less,” while quietly wondering if they even want this anymore.
I’m Katie. I am an engineering manager, so I write from the chair you’re sitting in. Every couple of weeks I share honest field notes on leading well through hard seasons: the calendar fire, the identity whiplash, the Sunday Scaries, and the small steps that build a path to fullfillment.
