summary

The talk examines whether to preserve or reimplement legacy Java systems, and shows practical, incremental techniques to keep a low-quality, poorly tested codebase running while preparing it for eventual replacement. It demonstrates concrete tools and practices such as Cypress for UI tests, the Interface Principle to decouple components, and uses Conway’s Law to consider organizational effects on the technical approach.
