I am the CTO of a small NGO (10 people total, only 1 other junior Dev at the time). We supported two apps that were built by consultants. They were a mess. NextJS, React, about 4 micro services for a site that had 50 users per WEEK. I configured a devcontainer with the old codebase and an empty repository and asked Claude to rewrite it as an old school server side rendered Django app. Went to sleep. When I woke up it was 80% done. Spent another couple days prompting and reviewing and reached feature parity. A bit later did the same with the other app. Now both are deployed, reduced the server costs, complexity, and are orders of magnitude faster. Without AI agents we wouldn't be able to do so (as usually is the case with tech debt). AI is amazing for small organisations!
