Turning AI-Generated Mess Into a Sustainable Codebase
A practical playbook for turning “vibe-coded” prototypes into maintainable software by tracking refactor work, codifying changes into a reusable spec, and using an agent to apply the same improvements consistently across dozens of REST endpoints.
5 mistakes when starting with Agents
So you've decided to try Spec-Driven Development with AI agents. You've seen the demos, read the testimonials, and you're ready to let AI accelerate your workflow. Great! But before you dive in, let me save you some frustration: there are 5 predictable ways this will go sideways, and every developer hits at least three of them.
