Vibe Coding
Rescue
You shipped an MVP from Cursor / Lovable / Bolt. You have users. Now it can't keep up.
Vibe Coding is the biggest shift in software in 2025–2026: founders building entire products by chatting with AI. Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Windsurf. By the end of a weekend — you have a working product.
That's excellent. It lets thousands of founders who couldn't code before get an idea live. But that's where the story gets complicated.
The product works. Users sign up. Then they start saying "it's slow." A bug that won't go away. You try to add a feature — everything falls apart. The next developer reviews the code and delivers the verdict: "Throw this out and start over."
We don't think you should throw it out. We think you should rescue it.
// 01 · Why it falls
Why Vibe Coding products break in production
The same patterns repeat in every project. We know them, know where to look, and know how to fix them.
- 01
No security
Passwords in the code, no permission checks, exposed API keys. AI is an optimist — it doesn't think like an attacker.
- 02
No tests
The code works "on my machine." A new feature breaks an old one, and nobody catches it.
- 03
Wrong architecture
Models build what was asked — not what's needed to scale. Things are wired together in a way that resists change.
- 04
Spaghetti code
Code that works but nobody understands. Adding a new feature takes 10x longer than it should.
- 05
Poor data management
Unconsidered schemas, missing indexes, queries that fall over the moment you hit 10,000 users.
- 06
Scattered dependencies
Unused libraries, old versions, known security holes.
- 07
No documentation
Nobody knows why something was written that way. Including the person who wrote it.
- 08
Uncaught hallucinations
The AI wrote a function that works only in the specific case it was tested. In every other case — a silent bug.
// 02 · What we do
What we do
From code audit to refactoring, security fixes, performance work and team training — everything your product needs to hold up in production.
- 01
Comprehensive code audit
We go over the code with a professional eye. We find: security issues, architectural weak points, spaghetti, missing tests, problematic dependencies.
- 02
Prioritized report
Not a list of 200 issues. We tell you what's critical, what's important, and what you can live with. And in what order to handle it.
- 03
Smart refactoring
We strengthen the code from the inside without changing external behavior. The product keeps working, users don't notice, the code becomes maintainable.
- 04
Adding tests
Tests that catch problems before they hit production. CI/CD that runs them automatically.
- 05
Security fixes
Secrets move to a Secrets Manager, proper authorization checks, vulnerabilities closed.
- 06
Performance work
Database optimization, queries, caching. The system runs faster.
- 07
Architecture refactor
If a deep structural change is needed, we do it in iterations — without freezing ongoing development.
- 08
Training your team
How to keep working with AI tools the right way — so the problem doesn't come back.
// 03 · What we don't do
What we don't do
- 01
We don't throw out your code
Only if there's truly no other option. In most cases, it can be rescued.
- 02
"Cursor is bad" — we don't say that
These tools are excellent. They're just not built for production. They have a role, and there's something that comes after them.
- 03
We don't promise a fix in two weeks
A real rescue takes time. We tell you the truth.
// 04 · Tools we know
We know their signatures
Every Vibe Coding tool has its own patterns of problems. We work with projects from all of them — and recognizing the pattern is half the battle.
// 05 · How we work
How we work
- 01STEP 1
Initial code review
We get access to the code and run a thorough review. 2–5 working days depending on size.
- 02STEP 2
Prioritized report
What's critical, what's important, what you can live with. With time and cost estimates.
- 03STEP 3
Rescue plan
We plan together what to fix, in what order, at what scope. Realistic — based on budget and time.
- 04STEP 4
Iterative execution
Fixes in sprints. Each sprint — a package of improvements shipped to production. No long "freeze."
- 05STEP 5
Tests & verification
Every change — covered by tests. We don't break what already works.
- 06STEP 6
Mentoring your team
Your developers (if you have any) learn along the way — so this doesn't happen again.
// 06 · Who it's for
Who this is for
- 01
Founders after an MVP
Who shipped an MVP with AI tools, have users, and want to keep building without it falling apart.
- 02
Funded startups
That raised on a quickly-built product — and need it to hold up before the next round.
- 03
After a "cheap freelancer"
Who brought in a cheap freelancer that used AI, left behind problematic code, and disappeared.
- 04
Small dev teams
That used Cursor to move fast and now realize they have a problem.
- 05
Anyone told to "throw it all out"
Who was told they "have to throw everything out and rebuild" — and thinks maybe there's another way.
// 07 · Why us
Why us
- 01
We don't look down on Vibe Coding
We use these tools ourselves — the right way. We understand what they give and what they miss.
- 02
Refactoring specialists
Dozens of rescued projects. We know how to make big changes without breaking things.
- 03
Objectivity
If the code really can't be saved — we'll say so. We won't sell you a project you don't need.
- 04
Speed
We work fast — because you're under pressure. Users waiting, a funding round approaching, an urgent feature.
// 08 · FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01.How do I know if my project is "rescuable" or needs a rebuild?
After an initial code audit, we'll know. In most cases — the project is rescuable. Only extreme cases require rebuilding from scratch.
02.How much does a code audit cost?
Depends on scope. Small project — $1.5K–$4K. Medium — $4K–$11K. Large — $11K–$28K. The cost is rolled into the work if you choose to continue with us.
03.How long does a rescue take?
Depends on depth. Critical fixes (security, stability) — 2 to 4 weeks. Meaningful improvement — 1 to 3 months. A full overhaul — 3 to 6 months.
04.Can you keep developing after the rescue?
Yes. Many clients continue with us after the first stage — as an ongoing dev team or as mentors to their in-house team.
05.The tool I used (Lovable / Cursor / Bolt / v0) — do you know the code they produce?
Yes. We work with projects from all of these tools. Each one has a characteristic "signature" of problems.
06.We want to keep using Cursor after you help us. Is that possible?
Absolutely. We even recommend it — with the right guardrails. We put a workflow in place where Cursor is an assistant, not the sole author. With code reviews, tests and CI around it.
07.I have live users. Can the rescue happen without downtime?
Yes. We work in-flight. Changes are planned in advance and rolled out gradually. The service doesn't stop.
08.And the code — does it stay with me?
Yes. Everything is yours. The code, the repository, the accounts. We help from the outside.
09.If we choose to throw it out and rebuild — do you build it?
Yes. If after the review we recommend a rebuild (it happens occasionally), we build it too. But it's our second choice — we always prefer to rescue if we can.
10.How do I know you won't introduce new problems?
A process with tests, code reviews, and CI/CD. Every change is verified. You see everything in real time.
11.Do you also work on code written by junior devs, not AI?
Yes. Same principle — code that works but is problematic for production. A rescue is a rescue.
12.I have a problem and I'm not sure if it's Vibe Coding or something else — how do I know?
Book a meeting. We'll take a look together and give you an honest read. No strings attached.
// 09 · Let's talk
Don't throw it out. Rescue it.
A 30-minute intro call. No strings attached. Send us the code, we'll look, and tell you what we see — and how to rescue it.
Straight. To the point. On time.
