Legacy Code Automation with AI: Building a Solution
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.
