AI Code Rescue · Cursor
Cursor generated the code. Production is exposing it.
Cursor is excellent for velocity. It is not a substitute for architecture, tests, or someone who has seen these failure modes before. When the codebase fights every deploy, we fix the foundation.

Cursor-specific failure patterns we see
Searchers looking for “Cursor generated code problems” usually hit one of these. The tool is not the enemy — shipping without production foundations is.
Race conditions and missing error handling
Especially in payments, webhooks, and multi-step flows. The happy path was generated; concurrent users and partial failures were not.
Zero or decorative test coverage
A few unit tests that assert mocks. No coverage on auth, money movement, or data mutations. Refactors feel unsafe because they are.
Architecture that grew file-by-file
God components, duplicated business rules, three ways to talk to the database. Each Cursor session optimised locally and made the whole system harder to reason about.
Deploy rituals that only one person understands
Manual steps, secrets in local .env files, CI that “passes” while production still needs a hand-edit. The next hire cannot ship.
A short real example
FinTech payment app built with Cursor + v0
A seed-stage team shipped a payment processing MVP with Cursor. Deploys took four hours. Transaction race conditions put money at risk. Zero meaningful tests.
What we found
- Race conditions in concurrent payment updates
- No automated CI; typecheck and tests absent from the merge path
- Error handling that swallowed failures instead of surfacing them
Outcome: Proper transaction management, ~95% critical-path coverage, automated CI/CD. Deploy time dropped from 4 hours to ~25 minutes. Zero data-loss incidents after cutover.

Common questions
Is Cursor the problem?
No. Cursor without architecture review, tests, and CI is the problem. After rescue we often leave teams using Cursor more effectively — with rails that catch bad generations.
Will you judge us for shipping AI-generated code?
No. We rescue these weekly. Speed was the right call for the demo. Production standards are a different job — that is what the triage call is for.
How fast can you start?
