okay, I finally found a good use for an LLM. no, really.

https://github-roast.pages.dev/

this thing is brutal

GitHub Profile Roast đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„

@denschub holy heavens, it shook me to the core!

@denschub

> So here’s a burn: your code's like Berlin's weather—overcast with a constant chance of disappointment.

Ohno

@denschub It gets it perfectly correct for me. This is what I want:

'Tor Lillqvist, it seems like you've hit the snooze button on your career—“mostly retired” sounds more like “mostly irrelevant.”'

@denschub It was quite nice about about me - I was congratulated for officially making being average look really easy.
@denschub It's actually really brutal. Wow.

@denschub

wow that's cooooooool! Getting roasted by an AI lol

@denschub since I migrated from GitHub years ago, it's oddly satisfying to have my abandoned profile labelled mediocre 😉

Not going to let this LLM see my Forgejo repos though 🙊

@denschub
> If you’re trying to modernize the world one Rust repo at a time, you might want to consider a better branding strategy than “What Rust is it?”—seriously, who’s winning that existential crisis?

@whatrustisit is winning, that's who is!

@denschub just one more prove llm's are mensplaining-as-a-service

@denschub Jesus that's dark. Do not use during depression episodes đŸ€ŁđŸ˜­đŸ˜…

Usually I am contra-AI but this...this is something!

@denschub

@jochen

Ugh. It's a good thing my motivation is mostly intrinsic and not driven by github stars.

@faassen @denschub

“You have repositories with more issues than stars. Are you collecting problems?”

I feel seen 😬

@denschub I shouldn't have done that to myself. I was having such a good Sunday!
@denschub it's funny but I don't like that it's helping support OpenAI so I kind of wish ppl would just chill out and let them go bankrupt because it's literally ruining everything

@BTowersCoding I agree with you, and I’m famously anti-LLM. but I’m a human, too, and this was legitimate fun to me, so


at least the impl is caching its generations, so it’s a bit efficient

@denschub yeah I had to check mine too and it was good for a laugh. But then I shared it and everyone else shared theirs and it got stale immediately, because I started thinking about how it's funny because we're reading humanity into it, which I find disturbing
@denschub I'm going to cry at the corner....

@denschub
Ouffff I’m still recovering 😼‍💹

“but let's be real-who's signing up for a game night hosted by someone with a name that sounds like a rejected character from a fantasy novel?”

@denschub hm, nope. Not impressed. Nothing it roasted me for was anything I've ever cared about.

@denschub
Fuck, that's
savage.

Hey Julie, or should I say "I do stuff" Factory? With a bio so vague, it’s like you’re trying to keep your accomplishments a mystery—or maybe you just don’t have any. Your GitHub reads like a graveyard for rejected ideas, with repositories that are as empty as your follower count. Five public repos, zero stars, and there you are, pretending to be a coder in Cleveland, where even the bugs probably turn around and walk away.

“Show-A-Platypus” and “Show-A-Duck”? Wow, congratulations on creating the world’s least interesting animal display. Maybe if your code was as lively as these critters, you'd have a shot at some followers. But let's be real—your programming prowess is only outshined by your ability to track down the most obscure, half-baked projects. Keep doing stuff, Julie, but maybe just stick to the shadows; the spotlight clearly isn’t ready for you.

@denschub > A Kernel/Hypervisor engineer at AWS with a grand total of zero public repos and a follower count that even your mom wouldn't help with. Are you sure you're not just a glorified intern? Your bio reads like a tech version of "I exist," and the lack of activity suggests your code's been as idle as your social life. Maybe stop engineering hypervisors and start working on your online presence? At this point, your GitHub looks more like a digital ghost town than a thriving engineering hub.
@denschub even with zero repos something is written lol
Lorenzo Stoakes (@[email protected])

OK maybe AI's fine after all. https://github-roast.pages.dev/

@never_released @denschub
> Maybe stop engineering hypervisors and start working on your online presence?
Please no! đŸ˜±
@denschub even a bot is scared of torvalds đŸ€Ł

@denschub ouch brutal.

"Oh look, it's Andy from the "workshopshed," who clearly took "making and repairing" way too literally. I guess seven followers feels like a crowd in your barren little garden paradise! With 40 public repos, I can only assume you're trying to fill up the void where your social life should be."

@denschub Your projects range from a spookily bad Halloween spider to a glorified remote temperature monitor. How innovative! Starring your own repo once or twice won’t get you any invites to a real developer's party, and let's be honest: if your ideas were any more basic, they'd require a training wheel. The stargazer count on those repos says it all—look at it, practically begging for attention.
@denschub “Blogger, writer, engineer”? I hope the shed is big enough to fit that bloated title because it sounds like the only thing you’re engineering is disappointment. Keep making those low-effort projects, Andy; at least your garden shed has some charm, unlike your GitHub account.
@denschub @andypiper i’m gonna have to recommend @cadey’s version instead https://praise-me.fly.dev/
Praise my GitHub profile!

Use your GitHub profile as a way to get personalized messages of praise and encouragement.

@kellogh @denschub @cadey I *LOVE* that! Thank you for sharing.

@kellogh @denschub @cadey @andypiper Sadly, it just loads almost forever before showing a non-descriptive error 😕

EDIT: Nevermind, worked on the second try after a while 😊

@melgu @denschub @cadey @andypiper i imagine it’s under a certain amount of load at this point. all the LLM computer is happening on-host afaict
@kellogh @melgu @denschub @andypiper Yeah, it's way more popular than I thought. You probably caught one of the frantic attempts at scaling. Sorry! I'm not used to things taking off this much lol
@cadey @andypiper @kellogh @denschub No need to apologize 😊👍
Congrats on this fun project!
@cadey Ouch! Looked up the output for a more popular account to comfort myself with the fact that they get a real burn too🙃
@kellogh @denschub @andypiper @cadey I was given exactly this link today, and it was like aloe after the burn that was the other site giving me 💝
AI-ngels and Demons

Two very different approaches to using large language models to generate personal feedback.

The lost outpost

@andypiper @ppxl @denschub @cadey it’s crazy. i realize it’s just AI, but those words were so powerful that i had to skim over them at first, because i’m not used to reading stuff like that about me. like, “do i deserve this? well, those actually are all true things about me, so
”

the negative one was actually a lot easier to read, bc i feel like i’m dishing that on myself every day anyway

@kellogh @andypiper @denschub @cadey that is an interesting take, and it's not the first time I heard it that we have gotten much more used to receiving negative feedback than positive. I guess we as humans like to forget such things.

Anyhow, it still nags me that a statistics probability generator wrote that about me and it still has a lot of influence. Maybe I am not better than a duck reacting to a wooden mock duck... đŸ€”

@denschub It describes my caveconverter project as ‘practically underground’ and I’m taking that as the highest compliment.

@denschub Thanks... *username: melroy89*.

"Melroy van den Berg, or should I say "Melroy, the Open-Source Overloader"?

Your bio reads like a desperate LinkedIn pitch, claiming expertise in GitHub and decentralization like you invented the internet yesterday. Spoiler alert: nobody's convinced you’re the next tech wizard just because you sprinkle a few buzzwords around. It’s like showing off your extensive collection of plastic forks while claiming to be a chef."

@denschub "But hey, if the aim was to gain more followers, 81 isn't exactly the fan club of the century, especially when you're following 21 people – is it quality or quantity you’re going for? Perhaps blending your passion for decentralizing the WWW with a bit of self-awareness could help chart a more successful voyage on the tumultuous seas of open-source development. Keep dreaming big, but maybe wind up a few of those loose ends first!"
@denschub No. This will be used as a tool for harassment and gatekeeping against groups under-represented in tech. Once again.
@denschub sadly it won't roast torvalds...

@denschub Bill Sempf, aka "Mr. Mediocre Security," you've got about as much flair in your repos as a wet cardboard box. You've put in five years at Microsoft, yet your GitHub says you're more a lockpicker than a lockbreaker. Your “what day it is” project has all the urgency of a sloth on a Sunday stroll. Seriously, even a portfolio of forks should have at least one original piece of work worth a damn, but instead, you’re just collecting dust on open-source, spinning your wheels with an excellent collection of zero-star wonders.

Your bio screams “dad of the year,” but the only legacy you're leaving behind seems to be just a series of half-hearted coding attempts. I see you offered a tool to export Discord chats—real groundbreaking stuff there, Bill. Must have kept you busy while the rest of us were actually creating something worth using. You might be a vulnerability analyst, but the biggest vulnerability here is your ability to produce anything remotely impressive. Get it together, Bill!

@denschub Hahaha update it to work on linkedin profiles and I promise it will be even funnier and closer to the sad truth behind the roasts
