Michael Hladky's __EnterJS 2026__ talk, Moving Legacy with AI, tackles one of the hardest problems in software engineering: __moving legacy codebases forward without grinding everything to a halt__.

🎤 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗜

Legacy migrations are often slow, expensive, and difficult to predict. But what happens when AI becomes part of a structured engineering process instead of just another chatbot?

In this session, Michael shares a field-tested approach that helped reduce migration effort by up to 75% through:

🤖 AI context and token strategies
⚙️ MCP and orchestration workflows
📊 Systematic evaluation of AI runs
🔄 Reproducible migration processes
🚀 Practical patterns for large-scale legacy modernization

If you're working with aging codebases and wondering how AI can become a reliable engineering tool, this talk is for you.
