windsurf's cascade is great at writing code across your whole project. that speed comes at a cost: you end up with features and refactors you didn't fully review, and six months later you can't remember what did what.
the windsurf apps we see in rescue share a pattern: sprawling codebases where the agent touched a lot of files, inconsistencies between patterns in different parts of the app, auth and middleware bugs that slipped in during a refactor, and production issues that only show up at scale.
audit your windsurf app before you launch, fix what's broken after, or get monthly maintenance — it's all handled by senior engineers using AI tools and human judgment, not scans alone.
