Código del Destino

Legacy Systems, Legacy Families

LogiMex Systems built an empire on AS/400 legacy systems. For 25 years, their logistics software powered trucking companies across Latin America. Now they must modernize into SaaS or watch competitors destroy them.

Don Rodrigo Mendoza — the patriarch who built everything from nothing — brings in Stefan Richter, a German Developer Advocate, to guide the transformation. But his nephew Patricio has other plans. Enter Bruno Cavalcanti: a Brazilian consultant with a seductive framework and a trail of destroyed companies across Latin America.

This is the story of legacy systems and legacy families, of veteran developers terrified of obsolescence and brilliant newcomers hungry to prove themselves, of forbidden love at an equestrian club and ruthless ambition in the boardroom.

Because sometimes the hardest code to refactor is the code of destiny itself.

🖥️ The legacy system everyone depends on — but only one person understands

👴 Veterans who fear their 25 years of expertise is about to become worthless

🎭 Consultants selling "frameworks" that create activity without outcomes

🏃 The "modernization" that's really a political power grab

📊 Daily standups and reports that measure compliance, not progress

🍺 The human cost of decades of emergency mode

⚔️ New developers vs. veterans — when both sides have something to learn

💔 Family business politics that make technical decisions impossible

We turned legacy modernization into a Mexican telenovela. With passion. Betrayal. And the engineering practices that actually work.

About This Series

Código del Destino is a serialized fiction that uses the format of a Mexican-Colombian telenovela to explore the human side of legacy system modernization: the veterans who fear obsolescence, the newcomers who must prove themselves, the executives caught between transformation and destruction, and the consultants who profit from chaos.

Each episode introduces concepts familiar to anyone who has led or survived a modernization effort — technical debt archaeology, knowledge transfer across generations, framework theater, sustainable transformation — through characters navigating love, betrayal, ambition, and grief.

The drama is fiction. The legacy challenges are all too real.
