The Blitzy Blitz

From modernizing legacy software to contemplating the state of software engineering for financial firms, this week has been action packed!

Let’s get into it.

Enterprise codebases are complex: millions of lines of code, decades of undocumented logic and hidden dependencies.

While AI copilots are great tools for writing code, use cases like modernization require understanding an entire software system.

On Wednesday, August 12 at 12:00 PM EST, Blitzy AI Solutions Consultant David Byrne will be discussing exactly this context problem and how to solve it.

The conversation will cover real-world examples, how to mitigate bottlenecks in modernization initiatives, and the secret ingredient for successful enterprise software modernization.

Register for the webinar here.

Gartner’s recent research stated that 70% of mainframe modernizations fail.

Our team was interested in understanding why this failure happens, especially for financial services firms.

In response, we recently released a white paper called “The State of Financial Services Engineering”.

Informed by data analysis from 100+ financial firms’ engineering roadmaps, the report is filled with insights about feature development, modernization, 2027 projections, and more.

Investigate all the findings here.

Blitzy can do more than just build software… our platform can write clues in the voice of a given codebase!

To showcase this skill, we have an ongoing series on our X account.

Every week, we pick one open source project.

Blitzy writes 4 riddles in that codebase’s voice.
One riddle is released each day Monday-Thursday.
Reveals happen every Friday.

Follow along here so you don’t miss next week’s clues!

If you care about where software development is going, follow along.

We are just getting started, so stay tuned.
