i've had great success with both chatGPT and claude with the prompt "tell me how this sucks" or "why is this shit". being a bit more crass seems to bump it out of the sycophantic mode, and being more open-ended in the type of problems you want it to find seems to yield better results.

but i've been limiting it to a lot less than 20k LoC, i'm sticking with stuff i can just paste into the chat window.
