How do you keep AI-generated code from falling apart when you change the database or API mid-project?
Developers building applications with AI tools like Cursor, Claude, or Lovable face challenges in maintaining code integrity as projects evolve. A key concern is preventing AI-generated code from becoming inconsistent when database or API changes occur mid-project. Strategies are needed to manage these changes effectively and ensure the AI-generated components remain functional and aligned with the updated project architecture.
This discussion uniquely focuses on the practical challenge of maintaining AI-generated code integrity when core project components like databases or APIs change, unlike broader talks on AI code generation.

For those building apps with AI tools like Cursor, Claude or Lovable: how do you stop the AI from making a mess as the project grows? Do you give it planning docs up front? What happens when you change the database or an API partway through, and the rest of the code no longer matches?
