At Developer Week 2024, Normandes José Moreira Junior from StackSpot talked about updating old computer programs and systems to work better and faster. Here’s a quick look at what he said and 7 things I learned:

1. Know What You’re Working With: Figure out if you're dealing with old software or outdated work methods. Both need a different kind of fixing.

2. Don’t Get Left Behind: Old systems can slow you down, make you less safe online, and cost you more money and chances to do better.

3. Keep Learning: It’s important to stay up-to-date with new tech and ways of doing things. This helps make big changes easier.

4. Use Smart Tools: Use programs like CloudFormation and Terraform to manage your tech stuff more easily and reliably.

5. Get Help from Platforms: Use platforms like StackSpot that give you tools and shortcuts to make updates simpler, even if you’re not a tech expert.

6. Automate the Boring Stuff: Use automation for tasks you do over and over. It saves time so you can focus on more important things.

7. Make Developers Happy: A smooth process helps tech people do their best work without getting stuck in old, complicated systems.

Updating old tech is crucial not just to keep up but to get ahead. By using the right tools and approaches, and focusing on making things easier for everyone involved, companies can turn their outdated systems into something great.
