> No emojis and any effort to be comprehensive? Everyone complains "what is this wall of text", or "this is industry not grad school so cut it out with the fancy stuff" or "no one spends that much time on anything and it must be AI generated". (Frequently just a way of saying that they hate to read, and naively believe that even irreducibly complex stuff is actually simple).

> Stuff that's got emojis, a friendly casual tone and isn't information dense? Well that's very chatty and cute, it also has to be AI and can't be valuable.

As a counterpoint, I can confidently say that I've never once had anyone give any feedback to me on the presence or absence of emojis in code I've written, whether for an interview, work, or personal projects, and I've never had anyone accuse my documentation of being AI generated or gotten feedback in an interview that my code didn't have enough documentation. There's a pretty wide spectrum between "indistinguishable from what I get when I give an LLM the same assignment as my interviewee" and "lacking any sort of human-readable documentation whatsoever".
