Nobody understands the generated code anymore
AI can produce code faster than a team can understand it. That works until every change first requires archaeological research. We help you bring the codebase back to software people can get a grip on again.
Does this sound familiar?
The code is usually readable enough. It's just that nobody understands how the whole fits together anymore.
There are several solutions to the same problem
Old and new implementations live side by side and nobody knows which one leads.
Files and components keep growing
More and more responsibilities end up in the same places.
Deleting feels dangerous
Nobody knows for sure whether seemingly unused code is needed somewhere after all.
Every prompt needs enormous context
You have to explain to the AI over and over how large parts of the project work.
Where do you want to be?
You don't need to know every file by heart. But an engineer does need to be able to understand where functionality belongs and what a change affects.
An understandable structure
Responsibilities and boundaries in the codebase are recognisable again.
Fewer surprises
Engineers can better predict what a change affects elsewhere.
AI tools become useful again
Good structure also gives coding agents better context to work with responsibly.
Why does this happen?
Code that compiles is not automatically a coherent software system.
See how we approach thisEvery task was solved locally
Today's solution doesn't always fit last month's choices.
Architecture stayed implicit
Technical boundaries only exist in developers' heads, or not at all.
Cleaning up kept being postponed
AI makes adding cheap, so removing and consolidating get relatively little attention.
Vibe Code Rescue Audit
A Vibe Code Rescue Audit first maps the actual structure, duplication and technical risks. Then we only tackle the parts that actually block development. We don't refactor for the sake of it.

Fixed price · one existing application or codebase
- Result
- Technical grip on what exists and a prioritised rescue plan
- Duration
- About two weeks
- Next step
- A Rescue Sprint for the most important problem, or continue yourself
Why 9to5 for this?
With a messy codebase, the main job is judging what is essential, which debt really hurts, and how to stop the clean-up from becoming the new problem.
View casesUnderstand first
We don't blindly change code before it's clear what role that code plays.
Risk over beauty
Not every ugly construction needs to be rewritten right away.
Document what matters
Important architecture choices are made explicit so knowledge doesn't disappear again.
What else fits your situation?
Rescue Sprint · €5,950 excl. VAT
One week of senior engineering focused on one clear technical rescue goal. No retainer and no endless engagement.
View offerEvery new AI code change breaks something else
New features ship quickly, but regressions, unexpected errors and repair work take more and more time.
View use caseWe've vibe-coded ourselves into a corner
With AI coding tools it went incredibly fast at first. Now new changes mainly make the project more complicated and you no longer know how to get out.
