#3 Technical Debt & AI Code

The "House of Cards" Fear
"I'm Terrified This AI Code Will Collapse in 6 Months"

Your team is shipping fast with Cursor. The repo looks like spaghetti. ProdMoh forces architectural standards before code is generated — so you ship fast AND keep the repo clean enough to sell the company.

The Fear You Don't Talk About

😰

What you're thinking after reviewing a PR:

"The team is moving fast with Cursor, which is great. But honestly? I looked at the repo yesterday and it looks like a hack job. It's spaghetti. If we have to refactor this later, we are dead. We are borrowing time."

🔍

During due diligence:

"They're going to look at our codebase. What if they see the 47 console.log statements? The hardcoded API keys? The zero error handling? We'll never close this deal."

🤖

After watching the team use AI:

"Copilot writes code in 30 seconds. But that code has no logging, no error handling, no validation. It's demo code shipped to production."

🐛

When production breaks at 3am:

"There's no logging. I can't trace anything. Who wrote this? Oh, the AI did. And nobody reviewed it because 'it works.'"

💸

Planning the next quarter:

"We need to add 3 features. But first we need 2 sprints just to 'clean up' the code so we can actually build on it. That's a month of runway. Gone."

The AI Code Problem

What Cursor/Copilot generates by default vs. what you need

❌ Default AI Output

// "Working" code from Copilot
async function createUser(data) {
  const user = await db.users.create(data);
  console.log("user created");
  return user;
}

What's wrong:

✗ No input validation
✗ No error handling
✗ console.log in production
✗ No logging/tracing
✗ No security checks

✓ ProdMoh-Guided Output

// Production-ready from ProdMoh prompt
async function createUser(data) {
  const validated = validateUserInput(data);
  try {
    const user = await db.users.create(validated);
    logger.info('User created', { userId: user.id });
    return { success: true, user };
  } catch (error) {
    logger.error('User creation failed', { error });
    throw new AppError('CREATE_FAILED');
  }
}

What's included:

✓ Input validation
✓ Try/catch error handling
✓ Structured logging
✓ Consistent error types
✓ Debuggable in production
