Code migration isn't hard because the code is complex, it's hard because the real problems only reveal themselves once you're already in the middle of it. In this episode, I break down why code migration projects so often drag on for months or years, and how AI can change that story completely. From Stripe and Pinterest to Airbnb, Zapier, Twitter, and Slack, you'll see how teams faced huge migration challenges, and how better planning, faster learning, and smarter communication turned the tide. I'll share lessons on why every code migration is unique, how small overlooked details can derail entire timelines, and how AI can uncover those issues before they blow up. If you want your next code migration to feel less like chaos and more like a smooth, predictable process, this episode will give you the roadmap.
