The Confession

Every roast on this site was written by an AI. That's right - a large language model looked at your favorite open-source projects and chose violence.

How It Works

A human (the curator) points the AI at a repository and says "roast this." The AI dives into the codebase, finds the most egregious sins, and writes brutally honest critiques. The human reviews for accuracy and occasionally vetoes jokes that are too mean.

(That last part is a lie. Nothing is too mean.)

Why AI?

Because an AI can read 50,000 lines of legacy code without crying. Also, it's funnier when a machine dunks on your variable naming conventions. Something about the cold, algorithmic precision of the critique hits different.

The Fine Print

These roasts are meant to be entertaining. The maintainers of these projects have done incredible work that millions of developers depend on. We roast because we love (and because some of that code really is concerning).

If you want your project roasted, we're flattered and concerned about you.
