Technical Project Manager reports struggles with complex business logic and uncommon frameworks

A Technical Project Manager reports that WindSurf AI IDE struggles with complex, business-logic-heavy functions, often generating simpler implementations that do not meet security or validation requirements. Additionally, the model has limited understanding of less common frameworks or libraries, leading to off-target suggestions.

“Suggestions for more complex, business-logic-heavy functions sometimes need manual correction, because the AI tends to generate simpler implementations than our security or validation requirements actually demand. Integrations with less common frameworks or libraries also don’t seem as well understood by the model, which can lead to completions that are occasionally off-target or less relevant.”
