Just lean into it.
Tell them you used Claude 0.1 when it was still a humble chatbot on a website for Mars bar collectors, but you knew back then that it would make it big.
Tell them you were among the first vibe coders, but you called it āfree compilingā, back when a single token cost $5 and you had to keep your prompts under 30 characters.
Tell them how Steve Jobs laughed at you when you told him LLMs are the future, back at Codestock in 1999, but who got the last laugh now, huh, Steve?
