Enterprise software often gets a bad rap from a user experience perspective, but it doesn't have to! Here's how we helped increase productivity for one client and their users by improving their system's UX.

I recently helped a client incrementally migrate a customer-facing portal from Struts to Spring Boot. As part of the migration, we needed to consolidate five Git repositories into one. While completing the consolidation, we developed a number of scripts to follow to ensure that the change history for each repository was maintained and accessible.
At MenderCon, we want to celebrate the software maintainers of the world and create a community where we can all learn from each other. Building on the organic community that's emerged from the podcast Legacy Code Rocks! this virtual event is a chance for menders all over the world to come together and talk about what makes improving software interesting and fun.
Software systems can find themselves in a state of "rock bottom." When we encounter projects like these, we need to channel our inner monk. Start where you are. Eliminate the shame that goes with having a messy codebase. Embrace that your system is worth investing in and start making it better from where you are today.
