+
+I've written emails before about continuous delivery and continuous deployment, but there's another "continuous" I like to follow.
+
+Continuous **improvement**.
+
+Always focusing on improving, whether learning new things or getting better with things I already know.
+
+If you haven't written automated tests or done test-driven development before, try it.
+
+Try using static analysis tools if you haven't before.
+
+If your tools or approaches are outdated, try something more modern.
+
+Can you reduce the time your CI pipeline takes to run, or write better documentation?
+
+You may not like everything you try, but what works will pay dividends over time.
