Navigating Greenfield vs. Brownfield Legacy Modernisation in the Era of Agentic Generation
The proliferation of large language models (LLMs) and agentic code generation pipelines has fundamentally altered the economic equations underlying software development. As the marginal cost of producing functional, syntactically correct code rapidly approaches zero, a pervasive assumption has taken root across the software engineering industry. This assumption posits that if generating code is now effectively friction-less and nearly free, then discarding legacy, monolithic systems in…
