Where business meets innovation and technology drives transformation. Engineering Evolved is the podcast for leaders navigating the forgotten ground between startup chaos and enterprise bureaucracy. If you're building and scaling teams at organizations in the middle — where startup rules no longer apply and enterprise playbooks are far too large — this show is for you. Hosted by Tom Barber, each episode explores the real challenges facing today's engineering leaders: scaling systems without breaking them, building high-performing teams, aligning engineering strategy with business goals, and making technical decisions that drive measurable impact. Whether you're a Director of Engineering, VP of Technology, CTO, or an IC engineer stepping into leadership, you'll find practical insights drawn from real-world experience — not theoretical frameworks that only work on whiteboards. Topics include: Scaling engineering teams and systems for growth Building effective engineering culture Bridging the gap between technical and business strategy Leadership tactics that actually work in the messy middle Making architectural decisions with limited resources Navigating organizational complexity Engineering Evolved — guiding today's leaders through the evolution of engineering. New episodes drop weekly. Subscribe now and join the conversation about what it really takes to lead engineering in the modern era.

How to Sunset a Legacy System Without Destroying Team Morale

Summary

In this conversation, Tom Barber discusses the challenges organizations face when dealing with legacy systems and the importance of recognizing the human element in system migration. He emphasizes that migration is not just a technical project but a transition that impacts people's identities and roles within the organization.


Takeaways

  • Think about your current environment for a second.
  • Do you have systems running that are older than some of your engineers?
  • Maybe it's that monolithic application written in a language nobody wants to touch.
  • Maybe it's hardware that needs special handling.
  • Or maybe it's just tribal knowledge locked in the heads of three people.
  • Not if, but when, that time comes.
  • You can treat it like a purely technical project.
  • It's a transition that affects people's identities.
  • A transition that affects people's identities, their expertise.
  • Their sense of value to the organization.
