Hi, this is my #introduction post. I'm stratos, a guy from #Hungary.

🐧 Ditched Windows years ago and have only #linux at home. I use Arch btw. 😉
💼 At my day job I work with #mainframe computers.
☕ I like my #espresso strong and without sugar or milk.
🎶 I can't really decide about a favourite #music genre, but nowdays I listen a lot of jazz, metal, gospel, barocque classical, christian pop.

There are two sides to the #mainframemodernization coin, according to Asa Kalavade, vice president of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Transform, an #agenticAI service that modernizes Windows, mainframe, and VMware environments.

In late February, Asa wrote a blog post about misconceptions regarding AI and mainframe modernization that were revealed by work with more than 400 AWS Transform customers. In that post and during this episode's discussion, she explains why successful mainframe modernization requires both reverse and forward engineering – and why AI is only good at one of those things.

In today’s episode, we’ll cover…

· The need for both reverse and forward engineering in #appmodernization

· The intricacies of #mainframe applications that #AI tends to struggle with

· Where #AIagents help the modernization process

· The evolving role of mainframe experts

And more! #enterprisetech #enterpriseIT

I recently worked with @popey to get him set up on the IBM LinuxONE OSS Community Cloud, and I was delighted to hear about his experience in the latest episode of Linux Matters! 🐧

"Eine KI soll bei der Modernisierung von Cobol-Systemen helfen. Kurz darauf reagiert der Aktienkurs von IBM spürbar. In Kommentarspalten und sozialen Netzwerken setzt der vertraute Reflex ein. Das Ende einer Ära wird ausgerufen. Der Mainframe wird symbolisch zu Grabe getragen. Und Cobol wird endgültig zum Museumsstück erklärt."
