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, Iโ€™ve 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, Iโ€™m 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.

Can AI Write Code

Can AI Write Code Now?

The topic of AI seems to be everywhere lately. At this point, I’ve consumed many hours of content regarding what it is and how it’s going to change the worldโ€ฆ whether we want it to or not. However, I havenโ€™t actually developed much code with it.

I’ve been writing code in some form since the early 2000s, but I have almost no practical experience with AI as used for development. Sure, I understand the basics, and I have a personal subscription to Chat GPT. But besides a couple of fun pictures that I’ve created of two of my past dogs that were never alive at the same time, I’ve not had much experience using it for code.

In this article, I’m going to test Chat GPT to see how much I can accomplish while writing as little actual code as possible.
