MenderCon 2026 will happen online, on May 7 📢 If you want to present something related to working with legacy code, the CFP has open! www.papercall.io/mendercon-2026 FYI, there will be 3 talks alongside open-space discussions. Talks will be recorded and published on YouTube afterwards 😉

Happy 2026 everyone! 🎉 As AI tools have become more common, what’s the impact on working with legacy code? Last year, Adam Tornhill explored both the promises and pitfalls of AI-assisted coding in contexts where code maturity and history matter. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7Sq...

AI is reshaping how we code… but what does that mean for legacy systems? In this talk, @raymyers.bsky.social dives into the current state of AI-assisted coding and its implications for maintaining, refactoring, and evolving older codebases. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sMf...

Legacy code doesn’t just run, it speaks 😃 Steve Richey reminds us that code carries history and intent, and preserving that makes maintenance more meaningful. … It's also a great reminder of why it's often a good idea to fix existing software *progressively* 😄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGWO...

Feeling overwhelmed by a tangled legacy codebase? @nicoespeon.com offers 7 concrete techniques to help: from incremental refactoring to testing strategies and maintenance best practices. This talk gives actionable advice for devs navigating tech debt! 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KUU...

Splitting a messy monolithic codebase into microservices can be tempting… but it’s rarely easy 😅 Sarah Dutkiewicz walks us through strategies and pitfalls when doing so. This talk is useful for teams undertaking large-scale architecture change! 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqXn...

Ever stared at a legacy codebase and wondered: “What is going on here?” In this talk, Federico helps you navigate that complexity by identifying recurring "idioms" in code, then uses those to guide refactoring or migration 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2Px... More legacy-code wisdom coming soon…

Working with legacy code doesn’t have to be a burden In this talk, Daniel Prager shares how shifting your mindset can turn “legacy work” into something rewarding and even enjoyable! 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGyy... Stay tuned: we are gearing up for the next MenderCon 🤫

We have started preparing our 2026 edition 🤫 In the meantime, you can find all the talks from previous editions on our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@mendercon/v... Stay tuned to learn more about what's coming 😉 #MenderCon #LegacyCode
