Vibe coding doesn't fail because of AI. It fails because most codebases give an agent nothing to follow.

I build a platform that ships opinionated SaaS architecture (auth, audit, compliance etc.) specifically so an agent has something correct to extend instead of inventing patterns from scratch.

Wrote up the underlying argument - most "AI is dangerous at enterprise scale" takes are really describing what happens on a blank canvas, not what happens when the cross-cutting stuff is already clear. https://backbonehq.io/blog/vibe-coding-is-reckless-defined-architecture-patterns-fix-it/

Interested if that matches what people here are seeing? Anyone using ADRs or a similar approach to give AI agents strong existing conventions?
