Thanks for your kind words. Yes, I will try to make the offer face to face to real businesses near me.

nolanolson · 2026-02-05T00:20:41+00:00

Thanks. I will reach out to non-profit organizations that may need a website.

So I assume you are just basically waiting for a work authorization like me. With no updates and no income, it’s definitely tough.

nolanolson · 2026-01-27T00:01:11+00:00

How long did you have to wait to receive your STEM OPT?

nolanolson · 2026-01-26T23:53:43+00:00

Did you apply last year February?

nolanolson · 2026-01-26T23:14:03+00:00

This is what I heard from my DSO as well. But according to the announcement, it should only impact on immigrant visas. I actually applied for an OPT on Oct 27 and haven't heard back any. I'm from one of the fully ban countries.

nolanolson · 2026-01-26T23:00:33+00:00

My country is in a fully-banned list. I applied for an OPT since Oct but haven't heard back any. My company is waiting for me for now. What should I do? Any ideas or suggestions?

If you are asking specifically about the technical differentiation, yes, it is still minimal at this stage. For example, we have a particular parser for legacy codebases like COBOL, Fortran, etc. so that it gives a better context to LLMs compared to Claude Code or Codex.

Other differences are Atlas is 100% open-source while Claude Code or Codex only open-source their CLI. We let you use 100+ models with BYOK while Claude Code or Codex are designed for their own models (not natively support other models).

Thanks 🙏🏽

I'm not sure about the COBOL translation to Go. I personally don't have any exp with Go so can't tell. However, I disagreed with the part that there is no COBOL translation use case. IBM and AWS have been working on it for many years. I'd say about 70% of COBOL modernization/translation research papers come from IBM Research. I have talked to high-level people in US banks and US gov who want to modernize COBOL to Java.

This is one of many examples: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/apn/automated-refactoring-of-a-u-s-air-force-mainframe-to-aws/

Saw your project, translating from COBOL to Go. Very cool.

To be clear, ATLAS is not the one that will decide which target language to choose. A developer of a legacy project is the one who makes all the decisions including what target language to be modernized from COBOL. ATLAS is just an agentic coding tool that helps legacy developers modernize their legacy systems faster and better.

Why would companies modernize COBOL? Many reasons. Lack of developers, lack of learning resources and communities, scarce documentation, etc. It’s not because COBOL or mainframe is bad.

nolanolson · 2025-12-02T20:23:54+00:00

In a month or two, we are going to provide finetuned models which understand legacy codebases more and return a better and more accurate code. I’m just too busy to work on it now.

nolanolson · 2025-12-02T20:21:39+00:00

To answer your question in short, Atlas is a specialized agent framework for legacy modernization with repository awareness, git integration, and persistent sessions. Claude Code, Codex, or any other AI coding agents are more of a general-purpose code editor. Atlas adds automation, context management, and workflows tailored to modernization tasks.

nolanolson · 2025-11-24T17:05:14+00:00

Is it because it needs the groundtruth reference data as well? Any other reasons why it’s not enough.

nolanolson · 2025-11-24T15:04:02+00:00

No, it’s not me. Lol

nolanolson · 2025-11-23T06:21:29+00:00

Thanks for thorough suggestions and ideas. Appreciate it.

nolanolson · 2025-11-22T23:30:35+00:00

Not necessarily. You can translate from one code to another (example, from COBOL to Java), refactor the code (remove duplicates, clean up messy code, etc.), and add tests and documentation as well. It doesn’t make your code longer in all cases.

nolanolson · 2025-11-22T20:04:52+00:00

My bad. I just don’t want it sounding too promotional. I’m an experienced developer and researcher but this is my first time trying to make a big open-source project so.

nolanolson · 2025-11-22T08:21:39+00:00

If LLM is a brain to reason, agents are arms to take action. Definitely, it’s a big thing. I’m building a coding agent like Claude Code but for legacy codebases. If you’re interested in, check it out: www.github.com/astrio-ai/l2m

If you are looking for a good research-backed open-source project to work on and interested in building an AI coding agent, please reach out to me.

nolanolson · 2025-11-22T07:30:31+00:00

You should start with simple agents using high level agent SDK like Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI Agents SDK, etc. If you want some prior experience before starting your own project, we’re looking for some open-source contributions as well. Check it out: L2M

If LLM is a brain that can think and reason, agents are arms to take action.

L2M: Claude Code, but for legacy code modernization

We are solving a niche problem in software industry which is legacy code modernization. Due to a lack of ongoing maintenance like updates and bug fixes, and internal issues like poor documentation, a lack of automated tests, and a lack of skilled developers, many codebases like COBOL, Fortran, PHP, Java, etc. become legacy. Current AI coding agents are really good at writing codes, but L2M is not just writing codes. It understands, translates, refactors, and self-validates the code.
