When developers hear legacy modernization, the conversation often jumps immediately to technology:
Which framework should replace the old one?
Should we move to microservices?

Organizations often assume their biggest constraint is a lack of new capabilities. More often, it’s the accumulation of outdated…
AI can finally read 25-year-old codebases. But daily AI coding is quietly creating a new kind of legacy code, faster than ever.
AI’s biggest gains won’t come from bolting agents onto old workflows. They’ll come from pairing people who don’t feel bound by…
Modern AI coding agents can build features faster than most engineering teams ever imagined. Need a...
