The future of software development isn't coming. It's already here.
We're proud to announce our strategic partnership with Cognition, the team behind the world's first autonomous AI software engineer, Devin, and Windsurf, the AI-enabled development environment reshaping how engineers work.
Together, we're helping organizations move beyond AI experimentation into something transformational: AI-native software development, where autonomous agents operate at scale, governance is infrastructure, and humans direct outcomes instead of performing tasks.
Our AI Maturity Model is the roadmap, and Cognition's products accelerate the journey. We've already seen it work in our own enterprise environment.
The organizations that get this right won't just move faster. They'll build better with more trust, structure, and capacity than teams working without it.

We've been busy at Improving! Last week was Fab Con, SQL Saturday, the CodeLaunch finals, and CodeCup. This week, our India team is in Europe for KubeCon.
We talk a lot about being active in our communities. Time and time again, our Improvers show up and deliver.
We're celebrating women at Improving 💜🌍
Yesterday was International Women's Day. At Improving, we believe connection is incredibly important for women in tech. That's why we created Women of Improving: a global initiative that brings women together through virtual conversations on the topics that matter most to us, wherever we are in the world.
From the office to the stage to our everyday lives, these women inspire us every single day. Learn more about how we're building belonging in tech: https://lnkd.in/gHz5vcju

We kicked off 2026 with our first Come Together Initiative topic: travel. It was a chance to explore local cultures, swap unique travel stories, and reflect on what those experiences have taught us along the way.

Cloud‑native teams love moving fast... until security becomes the “we’ll handle it later” problem that comes back in crisis mode. 🚨
This new Improving blog breaks down why security debt is growing, how threats like QR‑phishing and AI‑driven attacks are evolving, and why security has to become everyone’s responsibility from day one.
