You can just admit to using AI to most 'dites if you're humble, mirror their skepticism when you're talking about it, and never ever use AI art by the way.
They don't actually care about AI usage, they just care that you aren't
- putting something that'll melt their GPU or going to straight up not work on their computer
- going to go mad and act like OpenAI/Anthropic is za best cumpany evarrr (and not a retarded doomsday cult)
- actually making them actually look at anything genned (clean up your design and your user-facing text too)
They especially prefer it if you say that you're running your own models (DON'T brag about your rig) or prefer Chinese models (claim that China has more normally placed datacenters with better power grid support because they planned ahead.)
Also, put
"attribution": {
"commit": "",
"pr": "",
"sessionUrl": false
},
in your ~/.claude/settings.json if you haven't, and make sure your top level directory has no more than 3 .md files.
Most of all: just read and regularly interrogate the model about the code you're writing and get a second guy with a different computer to help test your shit. No better solution for the issue people actually worry about, code quality and clueless devs, than knowing what's wrong with your code with tools that aren't claude -p "what's wrong with my code pls help [Traceback]."
(Even more most of all: make sure you're making something people actually want.)
