Abstract Title

Title : Modernizing Legacy Systems in the Agent Era. - Abstract: Your agent can read all 400,000 lines of the legacy system in seconds. It still doesn't know that the retry loop is load-bearing, that the nullable column is nullable because of a migration nobody remembers, or that three downstream teams quietly depend on a bug. Agents collapsed the cost of writing code. They did nothing for the cost of knowing what's safe to change — and on a legacy system, that was always the entire project. This talk is about what modernization looks like once you take that seriously. We'll walk the strangler fig pattern end to end with agents in the loop: establishing ground truth from production telemetry before anyone writes a line, generating characterization tests that pin current behavior (bugs included), choosing seams, shadow-running old and new paths against real traffic, and actually deleting the old code — the step every modernization skips. You'll leave with a concrete division of labor: the work agents genuinely accelerate — inventory, call-graph mapping, characterization tests, mechanical sweeps — the work they will confidently get wrong, and the harness that lets you tell the difference before production does.
