Hi 👋🏼, I'm Steve Francia
You’ve probably run my code today. Cobra powers kubernetes, docker, and GitHub’s gh. Hugo builds millions of websites. Together, my personal projects have earned 195K+ GitHub stars.
I’ve spent three decades creating the developer stack: MongoDB’s developer experience, container standards at Docker, leading Go at Google, AI at Two Sigma. The tech was never the point. Here I write about the human stack: building products, teams, and communities that last.
If you appreciate my work, subscribe to the newsletter, sponsor me, or just say hello.
