Episode Notes
Most of the excitement around coding agents is about writing new code. But what about the code we already have?
In this JUXTCast episode, JUXT CTO Henry Garner speaks with Chris Ford (ThoughtWorks), author of the O'Reilly book Agentic Engineering at Scale, about pointing coding agents at large legacy systems.
Along the way: what after-dinner mints have to do with modernising them, why a good spec is never just markdown and whether AI will really make our software any better.

The frontier of AI is focused on the next model and the next capability. But the AI we already have is sufficient to sift through the decades of rules and regulations that have grown too tangled for any one person to hold in their head.
