Thoughts on software engineering, legacy migrations, and AI-augmented development.
I built 5 iOS apps in 3 weeks using AI, faced 9 Apple rejections across 4 apps, and earned my first dollar from a stranger. Here's the whole story — including the timelines I got wrong the first time.
When my first-pass AI migration came back at 7% accuracy, I didn't panic. I built a multi-agent pipeline — an auditor, a fixer, a migrator, and me — and turned 170+ bugs into a one-day fix. Here's how.
Legacy defense systems survive for decades — not because they're good, but because replacing them is terrifying. Here's what I've learned about why modernization stalls, who pushes back, and how to actually get it done.
How I used AI coding assistants to migrate 30,000 lines of ATLAS test code to C for military automated test equipment — and what I learned about process, humility, and the real way to work with AI.
