Score your own tape

Contrast with Ask mode, which is read-only. Press Enter for the full definition. for refactors but babysit it on migrations” beats “I love AI coding.”
- Role fit
- Did you connect to the feedback-loop charter - turning user signal into product decisions - or pitch yourself for a generic support job?
- Conviction
- Would a listener believe you'd use this every day for free? Flat delivery reads as low motivation even when the words are right.
- Honesty
- No invented metrics, no claiming features you've never touched. A recruiter forwards this energy to the hiring manager.
If any row is a shrug, that line is your rewrite target.
