AI makes it dangerously easy to look productive.
A screenshot can look impressive. A demo can look polished. A generated article can read smoothly. A GitHub repository can have a clean README, a badge, a diagram, and a confident promise. But if I am trying to understand whether a developer can actually think, build, test, correct, and take responsibility, the final artifact is not enough anymore.
The final artifact shows what survived.
It does not always show what was refused.
That distinction is becoming central.
