Today, Ukraine marks 35 years of independence. 🇺🇦 We're proud to stand with our Ukrainian team as they celebrate.

Ukraine's strength has shown up in its people: colleagues, friends, and neighbors who keep building, creating, and moving forward, even during the hardest times.

Wishing peace, safety, and a free future for Ukraine and its people.

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 💙💛
Слава Україні!

Even with our remote-first philosophy, we love any chance to get together. 🎉 And there's no better excuse than 26 years of Softjourn!

Our Ukraine office marked the occasion with a party full of games, toasts, and a whole lot of laughs. There was Prosecco popping, games that had everyone cracking up, and a giant green tiramisu that stole the show.

Twenty-six years of building software, solving problems, and growing together as a team. Here's to many more! 🍾🥂

"Refusing to use AI tools today is like choosing to work with a chisel when a rotary hammer is available." 🔨

One of our senior engineers spent months running an AI-augmented development workflow on a live client project. The results were significant: tasks that took days now take hours, documentation went from a week to minutes, and unit tests now generate in seconds.

We also documented what went wrong along the way, because that is where the real lessons are.

26 years. Countless cups of coffee. Hundreds of long-term clients. And one incredible team.

In 2000, two people had an idea. Today, that idea is a 200+ person company with 4 offices and clients in 30+ countries.

We've grown, we've shipped a lot of code (for real though, a lot!), delivered 1,500+ projects, worked on many charity initiatives, and yes, drunk roughly 2.9 million cups of coffee together.

But the number we're proudest of? 58% of our team has been with us 5+ years, and 25% have been with us over 10 years! That's not just longevity; that's belief in what we're building together.

Here's to the last 26 years, and the many more ahead. 🎉

We just published something worth sharing if you work in tech.
One of our engineers stopped writing code. 🤖
Instead, he directs two AI agents that handle the entire development loop automatically, from reading the ticket to opening and reviewing the Pull Request.

Results on a real client project: tasks that took 1-2 days now take 1-2 hours, and the client saw 125% more output on tracked delivery metrics.

We documented what went wrong along the way too, since that's usually the most useful part.

Full case study here: https://softjourn.com/case-study/ai-autonomous-pipeline-rnd

Softjourn's R&D team built a ticket-to-PR autonomous pipeline using two collaborating AI agents on a live client project. Here is how the workflow runs, what it delivers, and where human oversight still matters.

250 years ago, the ideas of democracy and freedom took hold — and they're still worth fighting for. Tonight, enjoy fireworks, BBQ, and good company, and take a moment to remember where it all started. Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸🎇

When Ticketmaster looked at their mobile ticketing app, they saw two separate native apps, duplicate maintenance work, and the high cost of supporting two developer teams. They asked us a straightforward question: is there a smarter way?

We recommended building a cross-platform solution using Xamarin instead. We consolidated to a single shared codebase, streamlining maintenance and eliminating the duplicate work that plagued iOS and Android development.

We gave AI three real UI/UX design tasks. It crushed two of them, and the third required our team to step in and redo the work from scratch — which turned out to be just as worth documenting as the wins.

One of our senior designers described the shift well: her role has evolved from "Creator of Everything" to "Editor-in-Chief," spending less time on setup and production work and more time on the judgment calls that actually require design expertise.

That is what AI-augmented design looks like in practice. Not replacement, not magic, but a meaningful reallocation of where skilled designers spend their time, with honest tradeoffs worth understanding.
