About this event

Legacy in Months, Not Years: Keeping AI-Written Code Safe to Change
Dmitriy Fedoryshchev

Hear how to tell whether agent-written code is making a codebase safer or riskier, and how the rules the agent kept breaking became checks it cannot skip, built into Dmitriy's own open-source tools. Lessons from modernising a 600-table, 21 TB legacy core into microservices with a squad that went AI-native under one doctrine: only merge code that can be understood and explained.

Speaker Spotlight:

Dmitriy Fedoryshchev – Lead Software Engineer – https://www.linkedin.com/in/dife/

He has worked on projects from startups to enterprises. His latest was modernising a 600-table, 21 TB legacy core into microservices, taking over from four previous attempts, with a squad that became AI-native on a custom multi-agent system under one doctrine: only merge code that can be understood and explained. Over a hundred merged open-source PRs across 20 projects, including Anthropic, OpenAI and Microsoft.
