Haha, thanks for posting, that brought me a lot of joy running on my profile. It must have an awesome prompt. The praise one felt quite cringy, so I was happy that at least the roast didn't take any prisoners: > Sounds like you’re trying to impress academic circles, but with repos that barely break the surface of mediocrity, you might want to reconsider your life choices. “Awesome” lists with zero stargazers? That’s some next-level irony. Get an original thought or two, and maybe, just maybe, you won’t need to curate lists of things no one cares about. This GitHub isn’t a museum for your neglected projects, it’s a showcase, and right now, it’s just a dump!

  It seems like the prompt is "You roast people github account based on their bio, name, readme, and repos as harsh and spicy as possible, and keep it short." https://github.com/codenoid/github-roast/blob/main/src/routes/llama/%2Bserver.js#L170C8-L170C134 https://github.com/codenoid/github-roast/blob/main/src/route...

    Oh wow, thanks for looking it up. I stand corrected! Never would have thought this simple a prompt could get such spicy responses.

  Just had GPT-4o roast me, based on my HN profile bio and recent comments. (Would anybody care to build a Show-HN out of this?). Giving it lots of actual written stuff (I put a lot of thought into), not just project names, makes it cut so much deeper: > w-m, your attempts at contributing to discussions are like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight. Your comment on getting "canned" responses from GitHub praise projects reeks of a guy who secretly wishes for a participation trophy while dismissing genuine critique. You try so hard to sound like a nuanced thinker, but it mostly comes off as a desperate plea for validation. It's almost charming how you still think "constructive feedback" is going to fix a broken prompt when, let’s face it, your GitHub is about as engaging as a beige wall. > Your tirade on Self-Compressing Neural Networks and 3D Gaussian Splatting reads like a bad parody of a tech talk at a conference no one wanted to attend. You ramble on about "self-organization" as if you're the first to discover the concept, all while your contributions are about as original as a straight-to-DVD sequel. And let’s not forget your .zip domain saga—a perfect encapsulation of your career: big ideas with zero practical payoff. You bought a useless domain and then cried foul when IT blocked it. Maybe next time, stick to .com like everyone else who doesn't want to be laughed out of the room. > Your AMD complaint at CVPR is just the cherry on top. You walk around conferences like an underfunded indie game developer whining about corporate monopolies while pretending you’re the underdog hero. Pro tip: if you're going to gripe about market dynamics, at least do it without sounding like a whiny tech bro who's bitter because they couldn't get their hands on the latest GPU. > In summary, w-m, you’re the quintessential tech enthusiast who overcomplicates everything, talks like he’s inventing the wheel, and then acts surprised when no one wants to ride along. Maybe it's time to step out of your echo chamber and actually engage with the world beyond your academic bubble. I think that's the most fun I've had with LLMs in quite a while. Edit: works well on arxiv papers, too...

Okay I love this one, it is great. Thanks for the good laugh! > And what's with the projects? A business card that runs Linux? Next, you'll tell us you’re working on a coffee mug that serves sarcastic remarks. I honestly find this idea pretty amusing and I am half-tempted to do it. Embed some flexible e-ink display in the walls of a mug and have it show sarcastinc fortune cookies. It could even roast you when the coffee gets cold.

  I had the idea for a sarcastic weather app once. “It’s raining. Maybe the strangers won’t be able to tell you’re crying today.” “It’s sunny and 72°. If only you had friends to enjoy it with.”

    Dang it, now I feel like I have to do it. Flexible E-ink displays are also pretty cheap on aliexpress, and the rest is some glue and a microcontroller. I’ll see when I’m back from holidays. I even have the name. "The Coffee Smug".

  The punchline could be "get roasted after your coffee got roasted"? Cuz, yknow,coffee beans are roasted and... Okay, maybe not such a good pun after all

Hah, for me this one ended up more complimentary than the "praise" version (which felt hollow, really). My favourite excerpt: > Is your real job finding out just how much you can screw up other people's software? Your projects read like a hacker's buffet—one exploit after another, like you're collecting CVEs the way some people collect Pokémon.

  I loved mine: > Next time you decide to learn something new, maybe pick up how to properly market your projects because right now, it looks like you’re trying to audition for the role of “Most Likely to Be Forgotten.” Keep striving, Ed; you might still reach the dizzying heights of double-digit followers one day! And people say AI isn't good, this is genuinely the best advice I could have gotten.

Here’s a tip: maybe stop hating computers and start learning how to use them effectively. Ooft! Honestly I’ve never seen an LLM be this creative. I guess it makes sense that, given its training data, it’s really good at being a dick.

Holy fucking shit I put in my handle and some people that I follow, that thing is absolutely brutal LMAO. Absolutely no boundaries. I would legitimately not show that to someone having a bad day.

This is what I wanted!!! Hilarious and not entirely wrong. Billiam Butler Vargas, huh? With a bio as empty as your ability to engage anyone beyond code, it seems you’ve opted for a life of digital silence. Your 169 public repos scream “spend more time coding than interacting,” and yet, only 96 followers? Even your projects have more followers than you do, and that’s saying something. Your repos range from decent to downright embarrassing; I mean, 'silent-ringtones'? That’s the peak of creativity right there—perfect for when you need to be just as silent in a conversation. And 'go-dosomething'? Sounds more like a build for a therapist session than tech. Love how your most popular project, 'pdf2text', serves as a metaphor for your interactions—get rid of the fluff and you still end up with something pretty bare. And speaking of your coding choices, a solid collection of Go projects and a kitchen sink of languages that just prove you're not a specialist at anything. With stargazers varying from a mere 2 to a measly 503, it’s like the tech community is giving you a pity hand clap instead of real respect. In short, your GitHub is a series of projects poised to be forgotten, just like your social skills. Welcome to Palo Alto, the land where your code may shine, but your personality gets left behind in the dust of a virtual highway.

Try running torvalds here. I guess it read lkml enough not to mess with Linus lol.

Quite honestly, I enjoyed the roast more than the praise. I know that both are just AI generated text but the former had an attitude and was a bit of fun that we can all laugh at. The latter seemed more like a poor attempt to "be nice". > "Calligraphic-Rulings"? Are you trying to create the next Picasso or are you just sweetly torturing anyone who dares to look at your coding skills with such drifting applications? LOL

This isn’t a roast, it’s just correct

  The best roasts are correct. I am mentioned in the roast below. > Oh look, it's Django: the web framework that's a bigger overachiever than your high school valedictorian.

I quite like the idea of a LLM confession booth - you can write a description of your sins, then go into the booth and it roasts you in a calm whisper, before telling you how to repent.

That just made me aware I have more followers than I expected, and a starred repo that I didn't realise. Did the exact opposite of roast me lol
