I have a visceral "AI" sensor that triggers when I see these: "Rust Implementation (v2)" "Performance Benchmarks (Validated)" Human beings don't self-validate explicitly like that. AI loves doing it. You generate code, there's a bug, you ask for a fix, your AI of choice will always output with: *** Fix build issue *** *** End fix *** and then call it "Version 2 (Validated)". Sometimes it's more subtle, but you can feel it, it loves adding "confirmed", "working", "validated".

My sensor is much simpler. If I see emoji in headings or bulleted lists, I assume it's shit. It might be AI slop, or it might just be kids getting overexcited with the little pictures, but both deserve suspicion and scrutiny. If a bunch of the emoji don't even make sense it can get in the bin.

I have a project with a bunch of compose files that define the services I self host. I "deploy" the project by sshing into my server and doing "git pull" which means I'm often making changes that don't get tested before committing to source control. As a result I have long chains of commits like: - refactor the sproingy widget - refactor the sproingy widget v2 - refactor the sproingy widget working - maybe the sproingy widget works this time? - ok finally found the issue with refactor sproingy widget - fix formatting of sproingy widget And now I'm wondering if I've been an llm this whole time
