Engineering deep-dives and strategic analysis on legacy modernization. New post every week.
The people who understand COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, and other legacy languages are retiring faster than they can be replaced. This is what that costs, why hiring won't fix it on its own, and the response that actually shrinks the problem.
How Gen AI and symbolic AI modernize legacy code, where each breaks, and why deterministic transformation plus Gen AI is the correct path at scale.
Symbolic AI, Program Analysis, and Large-Scale Legacy Modernization
Vendors claim 93% COBOL-to-Java accuracy. On 5 million lines, that is 350,000 wrong ones. Where AI genuinely helps, and how to prove code equivalence.
