Ah, the Procrustian definition of "real hacker", where using AI disqualifies you but using Github pages is considered only a minor infraction.

The build-in-public era of hacking has really turned this field into an influencer economy.

A real hacker would obviously never use a Microsoft product, or worse, post on a VC funded web forum!

Absolutely nothing. People protest Github to virtue signal their anti-Microsoft sentiment and fill a hole in their personality.

Similarly, "zero mention of AI" is just a surface-level observation that says nothing about how the project was completed and everything about your own insecurities defining the word hacker.
