Legacy Code Rocks explores the world of modernizing existing software applications. Hosts Andrea Goulet and M. Scott Ford of Corgibytes are out to change the way you think about legacy code.

If you’re like a lot of people, when you hear the words “legacy code” it conjures up images of big mainframes and archaic punch card machines. While that’s true — it only tells a small part of the story. The truth is, the code you leave behind is your legacy, so let's make it a good one.

    Software Bills of Behavior with Andrew Hendela

    Software Bills of Behavior with Andrew Hendela

    Simply knowing what is in your software is not any guarantee of safety. We need to know what that software does versus what we expect it to do. We need to know its rules of behavior. 
    Today, we talk with Andrew Hendela, a founder of Karambit.ai, a company dedicated to automatically detecting malware and securing your software supply chain. Andrew worked for over a decade automating hard cybersecurity problems. He has many years of experience in cybersecurity leadership and deep technical expertise in fields such as malware analysis and automated cyber attribution. He tells us about software bills of behavior and why SBOMs are insufficient to protect your software supply chain from attacks. 
    When you finish listening to the episode, connect with Andrew on LinkedIn and visit Karambit.ai website.

    Socio-Political Implications of Legacy Code with Amy Newell

    In the age of rising AI, we cannot neglect the topic of the social and political consequences of the code we leave behind. Today, we talk with Amy Newell, a 24-year veteran of the tech industry and an avid activist in issues spanning from local politics to tech. Amy discusses how to engage with emerging technologies, how to use them, and how to create them while being cognisant of the harm we can inadvertently cause along the way. When you finish listening to the episode, visit Amy's website at amynewell.com and check out their newsletter at amywriteswords.com.

Great Interviews About Legacy Code and Maintainability

I really like the way Andrea and M. Scott lead their interviews. Questions are insightful and their guests are top-notch software engineers.

I wish there were more podcasts like Legacy Code Rocks! I feel like as an industry, we don’t talk enough about maintainability, mending code, and legacy projects. :D

Making me rethink thoughts on legacy code

I became aware of this podcast when one of the hosts appeared on another. I've only listened to a few episodes thus far, but am enoying it and how it is causing me to reflect on how I approach legacy code.
