Talk Title: The Delicate Art of Codebase Strangulation

Talk Idea, described briefly: Every engineer has faced the temptation to "throw it all out and start over", especially in the AI era. However, if you're stuck supporting a legacy system you often can't throw anything out, and if you try, you end up supporting TWO products! There is a better way: strangulation! I'll talk about how to use the Strangler Fig pattern, as well as a few more I invented (Strangle Strategies, Feature Proxy), to slowly decompose a legacy codebase into something you actually want to maintain.
