Legacy Code Sucks – Agile will make it Better, right?
Ask a room of developers if they write maintainable code and they’ll all raise their hands. Ask the same room if their colleagues write maintainable code and no hands will come up. It turns out, writing maintainable code is hard. Nevertheless, software teams are never going to stop encountering old code, in old frameworks, written by a lone contributor who is MIA. While a full rewrite is always an option, it isn’t always the practical one. This talk will describe some of the strategies that Menlo has deployed in helping teams perform Legacy Application triage and rehab. We will be discussing the three paths we usually take and provide real world examples for each: A full rewrite (Writing an inventory application in React), triage and leave it at that (The House (Code) written on Sand), and try and fix in place (Working in RPG on an AS400).
