1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Generative AI can be incredibly powerful when it comes to legacy modernization. Not only can it help us better understand a large, aging codebase, it can even help us reverse engineer a legacy system when we don't have access to the complete source code. Doing it, though, requires a specific approach that's being described as 'context engineering'. This is something we've been exploring a lot in recent months at Thoughtworks. On this episode of the Technology Podcast, Thoughtworks' lead for AI-enabled software engineering, Birgitta Böckeler, and tech principal&amp;nbsp;Chandirasekar Thiagarajan join hosts Ken Mugrage and Neal Ford to discuss how it works.&amp;nbsp; They explain the process, the tools and what the work is teaching them about both generative AI and legacy modernization.
