Legacy tech work. I get almost no calls for modern dev stacks, but I'm kept as busy fixing and modernizing legacy apps on legacy stacks, and helping to get their data moved to a modern environment.

I'm not drowning in calls or anything - but they come in often enough to keep me working.

Industry shift worth noting seems to be "If AI can do it, I don't need you". So all work available is - I can't get AI to do this. Help me do it.
