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.

Joe guides us through SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), revealing the secrets of how the pros find the needles in the haystack.

    Developer Experience with Ramiro Berrelleza

    How to set up developers for success? For the longest time, companies left developers to their own devices to figure out the workflows and tools they will be using. As the teams grew, so did their problems due to the lack of established procedures and good practices. 
    Today, we talk with Ramiro Berrelleza, the CEO and co-founder of Okteto, the leading platform for developer experience automation. Ramiro is a true visionary, continuously searching for new ways to improve the software development process and build a more inclusive tech industry.

    Sustainable Opensource with Cory O’Donel

    Sustainable Opensource with Cory O’Donel

    Back in August 2023, HashiCorp announced that after nine years of Terraform being open source under the MPL license, they were switching it to a non-open source BSL license. This sent shockwaves through the software development community. 
    Today we talk with Cory O'Daniel, a CEO and co-founder of Massdriver, a company helping improve developers' experience of cloud operations, offering self-service capabilities along with governance and guardrails to developers. Cory is also one of the drivers behind the Open TF initiative in response to Hashicorp's changing their open source licenses from MPL to BSL. He tells us why this switch matters, what to do about it, and how to keep open-source projects sustainable. 
    When you finish listening to the episode, connect with Cory on LinkedIn, visit Massdriver's website, and check out the Open TF initiative.

    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.

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.
