Finance & Technology (AI)

Most failures come from legacy thinking about Business <> Tech cooperation.

The old model is simple: throw money at the problem and make sure it’s secure.

That no longer works.
What it guarantees is slow execution.

Yes, it will be secure.
No, it won’t be innovative.

What works is bringing Business and Tech as close together as possible.

Move in iterations, not bloated fixed budgets.
Prove ROI with every demo, evaluated by real humans.

Repeat.

Money won’t fix this.
It only makes mistakes more expensive.

Domain experts and engineers have to move together.

CEO @ Kunso - Strategic Engineering for Fast-Scaling Founders

We've been using our version of secure Crawdbot in Kunso for the past 6 months using Claude Code. 

The difference is that it was set up with a security-first approach.

After seeing exposed API keys, servers with open access, and AI tools plugged straight into production systems,

I’m convinced that 2026 will be a year of cybersecurity.

2026 is going to be full of tech migrations.

Not because it’s fun. Because maintaining old software is a nightmare.

Most systems get stuck once they “work”.
The people who built them are gone, requirements changed, and nobody really knows what’s inside anymore.

But you still pay for it.
Every new feature, every bug fix, every small change takes longer than it should.

Legacy code isn’t expensive because it’s old.
It’s expensive because it’s frozen.

What changed is that AI is finally useful for this.

Models are good at reading existing code.
They can follow the logic, spot gaps, and help untangle business rules.

With a senior engineer or architect supervising, you don’t need a big rewrite.
You migrate step by step, safely.

We’ve done this with AngularJS 1.x, Cordova, and old Python codebases.

After that, things move again.
Faster delivery, lower maintenance cost, and less fear of touching the code.

Staying on legacy tech isn’t playing it safe.
It’s just delaying the problem.

#SoftwareEngineering #LegacyCode #TechMigration #AIDevelopment

You see a lot of sexy AI demos, but almost no production examples.

Demos are meant to be perfect.
Clean inputs. One success path. Controlled output.

LLMs are now good enough to pass the same input-output case every time.

But put that same system at 10x or 100x scale, under real operational load, and it falls apart.

Not because AI doesn’t work.
Because an AI-driven system is an evolving ecosystem. It needs continuous improvement.

You tolerate mistakes from humans.
You don’t tolerate them from AI.

Founders’ mindset is often:
“It worked in the demo. Why is it failing now?”
“If it can’t replace people or save costs, we don’t want it.”

That’s short-term thinking.

Those who invest in systems, observability, and feedback loops early will benefit long-term.
