101: Cloud Therapy with Bobby Allen
We behave with the cloud as a subset of technology like a teen who just learned how to drive. We are at the point where capabilities have far exceeded the ability to comprehend consequences.
100: Economics of Technical Debt with Jim Humelsine
Technical debt is a recurring theme of this show. We talk about it almost as often as it pops out in any legacy code! Today we go back to discussing technical debt with Jim Humelsine.
99: Adding Tests to Legacy Systems with Floyd Hilton
Many legacy systems lack adequate test coverage. They might not have much coverage at all, or the existing tests might be inefficient or paint a wrong picture about the stability of the system.
98: Public Cloud in the Service of Applications with Sarah Musick
There has been a noticeable uptick in the adoption of public cloud providers. At the same time, the voices advocating for the abandonment of traditional data centers are getting louder.
97: Legacy in Functional Programming With Eric Normand
Common Lisp was written in the 80s as a kind of an amalgam of the existing Lisps at the time.
96: The Value of Old with Marianne Bellotti
Software engineers perceive that technology advances in an orderly, linear fashion. This makes the novelties very attractive. However, the reality is that we tend to go through technology in cycles.
95: Staying on Top of Dependency Freshness with Freshli
For most teams, dependency freshness is a pain that is often ignored.
94: Conquering the Fear of Legacy Code With Barry O’Sullivan
When developers talk about what they find exciting, they usually talk about new things. Very little content is about the actual job, about working in the existing system.
93: Trans-Inclusive Design with Erin White
We like to think that technology is our objective and neutral assistant, our faithful lieutenant constrained with science and armed with cold, hard data. But this is incorrect.

About
In this show, hosts M. Scott Ford and Ray Myers 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 code you leave behind is your legacy, so let's make it a good one.
