title: "Deciphering Legacy Codebases: Identifying, Understanding, and Transforming Code Idioms"
48+
description: |
49+
Deciphering legacy code is hard, but code idioms can help as they capture “how things are done here.” We will explore how to identify and leverage recurring idioms for refactoring and migration. The approach demonstrated is language-agnostic, and we will provide examples for RPG and Java.
50+
51+
In this talk, we’ll explore:
52+
- What code idioms are and how they emerge in real-world codebases
53+
- How mining code idioms helps developers understand legacy code more efficiently
54+
- How recognizing idioms improves refactoring and migration strategies
55+
- A language-agnostic approach to detecting idioms automatically
56+
- Practical examples using RPG and Java
57+
58+
Whether you’re maintaining legacy systems, performing migrations, or dealing with technical debt, leveraging code idioms can make your work more predictable and efficient. Join us to learn how automated idiom mining can help you maintain and transform legacy codebases with a little more confidence.

title: "Build a VS Code Extension in 30 Minutes That Helps Your Team Conquer Tech Debt"
62+
description: |
63+
Imagine a world where tagging technical debt doesn’t interrupt your team’s work flow. A fantasy, right? Not so! In this 30-minute live coding session, we’ll build a custom VS Code extension that will allow your devs to live that beautiful dream!
64+
65+
Based on Cherrybomb, an app built and used internally at Planet Argon, your new VS Code extension will transform how your team handles legacy code challenges. By integrating seamlessly into VS Code, this extension captures code selections, file paths, and line numbers to instantly create detailed Jira issues, minimizing context switching and maximizing productivity.
66+
67+
Technical Requirements: A modern laptop with Node, Git, and VS Code installed is recommended to follow along with the live coding demos. I will be live-coding a greenfield app and referencing a prepared VS Code workspace with pre-configured code snippets and Jira API calls.

title: "Legacy Code: Finding the Fun!"
71+
description: |
72+
I began my career writing original, creative code at startups, but soon found myself working with more and more legacy. It’s often frustrating—but it doesn’t have to be! I’ll share my experiences and reveal strategies that make working with old code surprisingly fun, rewarding, and even profitable
73+
74+
I want to tell a common story about how I started out writing fresh, creative code at startups, but very soon ended up dealing with legacy code. It’s often frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be. I’ll share my experiences, explore what makes legacy code painful, and reveal systematic approaches (and even some AI tricks) that make working with old codebases surprisingly fun, rewarding, and remunerative.
75+
76+
Learning Outcome:
77+
- Legacy Code is Inevitable - even the best developers will write it.
78+
- Attitude Matters - Viewing legacy work as a creative problem-solving challenge makes it more enjoyable.
79+
- Systematic Approaches are Indispensable - What a starter toolkit looks like, and how to start introducing these techniques
80+
- Quality Today Prevents Pain Tomorrow - Guidance on navigating the economic arguments
81+
- AI is an Emerging Tool - AI can assist but won't replace human intuition and comprehension in legacy work.

company: "Prager's Law"
57+
title: "Agile Coach"
58+
bio: |
59+
An early adopter of Agile, including the technical XP practices, Dan coaches and trains people in Agile and DevOps in startups, scale-ups, and larger organisations. Dan is a passionate supporter of the Australian Agile community, and a regular speaker and participant at conferences and meet-ups.
60+
61+
After completing his PhD in computational mathematical physics on the numerical evolution of a class of black holes, Dan left academia in the 1990’s to pursue a career in software development. He quickly discovered that trying to plan everything up front made very little sense, and went looking for better approaches. This led him to iterative and incremental approaches to creating software, fore-runners of Agile. Later he learned that Agile approaches generalise to all forms of knowledge work.
62+
63+
Dan is married to Andi Herman. Together they created YouPatch (a web site for turning images into patchwork quilt designs), as well as two now grown-up children, and have acquired additional now grown-up kids along the way.
