We rewrote a legacy Delphi (Object Pascal) application into a .NET C# service worker in three months, beating a five-month deadline for a client in the healthcare software space.
Here’s what actually made that possible and the pitfalls we hit using LLMs along the way.
AI-generated unit testing is changing how developers write tests. Learn a practical workflow for generating unit tests with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Copilot using React, TypeScript, and Vitest.
Artificial intelligence isnโt just changing how we write codeโitโs transforming how we think about creativity in development. In this post, I revisit the playful spirit of early programming through a series of AI-assisted experiments using ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, and JavaScript Canvas on CodePen. Along the way, I uncover practical lessons for developers on using AI to accelerate learning, inspire exploration, and rekindle the joy of creative coding…
As access to AI models has become more widely available and more and more people are using these tools on a regular basis, many organizations are interested in providing AI tools to their employees and customers. A key problem with the publicly available APIs is that they have varying levels of security and privacy that donโt always meet the needs …
This blog post serves as a thought experiment, delving into potential solutions for a pattern I have noticed on projects throughout my career. As a consultant, I work with many companies, each with unique ways of organizing and handling software development. However, throughout my career at Keyhole and elsewhere, Iโve noticed something that seems to be consistent across all dev teams: the existence of legacy code.
Legacy code can be frustrating and time-consuming to work with, so I used AI to create a solution to mitigate the hassle. While other solutions may already exist (and some may be more efficient), I found the process of creating this tool expanded my understanding; it really helped me grow as an engineer.
So, Iโm using this blog post to share my process with you! Let’s dive into how AI can assist in improving application design (specifically legacy code) through automation.
