How to Write Legacy Code Faster with AI

In the fast-paced world of software development, writing legacy code is often an unavoidable reality. Here’s how to speed up the process using AI while embracing some well-trodden paths.

1. Write Legacy Code: Michael Feathers defines legacy code as code without tests. Avoid writing tests, utilize familiar libraries, and prioritize quick fixes. Bypass code reviews and rely on copy-pasting to churn out code faster.
2. Use AI: Leverage AI code generators to create boilerplate code, embrace rapid prototyping, and keep documentation to a minimum.
3. Write Code Faster: Skip refactoring and stick with default settings to maintain speed over quality.

By utilizing these practices, you can accelerate your legacy code development, even if it means taking a few shortcuts along the way.
