Ask HN: Teams using AI – how do you prevent it from breaking your codebase?
3 by namanyayg | 0 comments on Hacker News.
For teams actively using AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), I'm noticing a frustrating pattern: the more complex your codebase, the more time developers spend preventing AI from breaking things. Some common scenarios I keep running into: * AI suggests code that completely ignores existing patterns * It recreates components we already have * It modifies core architecture without understanding implications * It forgets critical context from previous conversations * It needs constant reminders about our tech stack decisions For engineering teams using AI tools: 1. How often do you catch AI trying to make breaking changes? 2. How much time do you spend reviewing/correcting AI suggestions? 3. What workflows have you developed to prevent AI from going off track? Particularly interested in experiences from teams with mature codebases.
