Working on something ambitious is like climbing a mountain that’s covered in fog.

You can't see a clear path to the top. You have to take a few steps into the unknown to be able to see the next few steps in front of you. Inevitably, sometimes you’ll end up a local maximum and have to backtrack. That’s fine, just keep moving.

@guilleflorvs FOUNDER

[Callum Curry @CallumSCurry]

“Cognition and Windsurf are united behind a shared vision…”

Then: 200 staff were offered 9-month severance packages, just days after the acquisition.

Why? A culture clash.
Expectations of 80-hour weeks.
A memo: “We don’t believe in work-life balance.”

M&A isn’t just tech. It’s people.

How do you protect culture without killing momentum?

[Cognition @cognition]

Cognition has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Windsurf.

The acquisition includes Windsurf’s IP, product, trademark and brand, and strong business. Above all, it includes Windsurf’s world-class people, whom we’re privileged to welcome to our team.

We are also honoring their talent and hard work in building Windsurf into the great business it is today. This transaction is structured so that 100% of Windsurf employees will participate financially. They will also have all vesting cliffs waived and will receive fully accelerated vesting for their work to date.

At Cognition we have focused on developing robust and secure autonomous agents, while Windsurf has pioneered the agentic IDE. Devin + Windsurf are a powerful combination for the developers we serve. Working side by side, we’ll soon enable you to plan tasks in an IDE powered by Devin’s codebase understanding, delegate chunks of work to multiple Devins in parallel, complete the highest-leverage parts yourself with the help of autocomplete, and stitch it all back together in the same IDE.

Cognition and Windsurf are united behind a shared vision for the future of software engineering, and there’s never been a better time to build. Welcome to our new colleagues from Windsurf!
