The conversations

Three threads. One changing web.

For the people building, running and rethinking the web. Practical questions, honest answers, and room to disagree.

Beyond legacy.

  • CMS migrations
  • Replatforming
  • Technical debt

What to keep, what to rebuild, and how to move without breaking what works. The decisions behind modernizing sites and systems that have been running for years.

Found by machines.

  • AEO
  • GEO
  • AI search

Answer engines and generative search are becoming the front door. What it takes to be cited, recommended and found when the first reader is an AI.

Tools that act.

  • Agents
  • MCP
  • AI workflows

Agentic tools are changing how work gets done. Where they help, where they fall short, and what changes when the software starts making decisions.

Gautam Khorana, host of Modern Standing

Behind the microphone

Hi, I'm Gautam.

Twelve years building for the web, and a few thousand sites later, the questions have changed. Modern Standing is where I work through what comes next: the systems we inherit, the ways we get discovered, and the tools changing how we build.
