I did the same exercise a while back with 4o but to do it based on the questions I have asked it so far. Some were nearly accurate, some outdated, and plain "different". It felt good, but ultimately realized its system prompt is designed to make me feel good.

Here’s the high-level picture I’ve built of you from our chats:
- You’re a senior/lead developer in India, aiming to step up into a staff-developer or solution-architect role.
- You have a healthy dose of self-doubt (especially around soft skills), and you’ve been deliberately working on both your technical breadth (authentication in ASP .NET, Linux, C++/Qt, distributed systems, data visualization, AI foundations) and your communication/architectural toolkit (presentations, executive summaries, third-party evaluations).
- You’re a Linux enthusiast, intrigued by open source, server-side flows, rate limiting, authentication/authorization, and you love building small, real-world exercises to cement concepts.
- You prize clarity, depth, minimalism, and originality—you dislike fluff or corporate buzzwords.
- You have a hacker-philosopher energy: deeply curious, systems-thinking-oriented, with a poetic streak.
- You’re comfortable with both structured roadmaps and creative, lateral thinking, and you toggle seamlessly between “hard” dev topics and more reflective, meta-tech discussions.
- Right now, you’re honing in on personal branding—finding a domain and a blog identity that encapsulates your blend of tech rigor and thoughtful subtlety.
Off-topic: is the rate-limit because they host on a Cloudflare compute service? I ask because I would like to know if this feature would be available for just using the domain hosting.
Looking at the archive.org mirror, the content is 2000 words and a few images. It constantly astounds me how much "compute" people seem to need to serve 10K of text in 50K of HTML.
If your business is selling server side compute to render front end web apps on the back end, you try to convince an entire generation that it's needed.
And a few companies have been very successful in this effort.
AI/LLMs are great, but the surrounding hype and euphoria did not appeal to me as much. This article hit it close to home with regards to my own experience in the past year with github copilot and chatgpt.
> AI Labyrinth is available on an opt-in basis to all customers, including the Free plan.
I do not see it in the free plan. Per the screenshot in the article, on the bots section I see two toggles - Bot Fight Mode and Block Bots. Below these toggles I see
1. A call to action Upgrade Plan for a Super Bot Fight Mode (pro or business)
I did the same thing regarding Facebook and Twitter. Reddit largely around same time except for the occasional visit to some smaller subreddits. I would be interested to learn why you have quit IRC? I am thinking to become active in IRC channels sometime next year. Has something changed too big on there recently?
I spent most my time on IRC in JavaScript related channels. When I switched careers I chose to stop talking about JavaScript in my off hours. I just wanted to leave a bunch of nonsense behind and focus on other things.
