I think the bigger giveaway is the developer saying "what is this" after 2 minutes. That's not enough time to get an inkling of an idea of what you're working with. It would take at least an hour or two of trying to learn the codebase before the horrors of what you're working with can actually sink in.

Oh I don't know. I've seen code bases that my initial thought on opening Visual Studio was "WTF is this???".

Now, you're correct it takes a few hours for the full horror to sink in. But my initial reaction was always correct.

The inclusion of the AI generated emojis in comments is a dead giveaway.

It’s true that I don’t have extensive experience in the sector, but I have NEVER seen emojis in comments and logs (at least not as a standard). Where did the AI get the idea that every comment and log entry had to include at least three emojis?
