The name is kind of misleading. I expected it to generate random lines of code, instead of just replacing identifiers with lorem ipsum.

- XCabbage 7y agoFor whatever it's worth, I didn't share your expectation. The real lorem ipsum is just a fixed load of text, after all - describing something as "lorem ipsum but for code" shouldn't necessarily imply any functionality.
- wongarsu 7y agoGiven that lorem ipsum is a fixed load of text, as you said, I would have expected a lorem ipsum for code to be a fixed load of code (that's nonsensical but looks real enough from afar).
- FunnyLookinHat 7y agoI thought the same thing.
- moontear 7y agoSame thought here. I thought something along the lines of hackertyper. Something that looks like real code, but isn't.
- Sohcahtoa82 7y ago> I thought something along the lines of hackertyper. Something that looks like real code, but isn't. Hackertyper is absolutely using real code. Specifically, it's using groups.c from the Linux kernel: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/groups.c https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/kernel/groups.... Compare that to the code used by Hackertyper: http://hackertyper.com/code.txt http://hackertyper.com/code.txt
