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."
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.

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.
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.

Sorry to roast your project, but the roast one is so much better. Got me in the sensitive spots and mentioned very specific stuff.

thybag 163 days ago [-]
My guess is the roast version looks at the repo details/descriptions (or at least a few of them - which is why the reply seems much more specific/cutting) where as far as I can tell the praise version here only looks at readme/top level profile info.

It is actually a good thing that my projects collapse faster than a failed LHC experiment, as we don't have a failed LHC experiment (yet!). If it is the opposite, then High energy physics field will be in trouble. I don't even complete most of the project ideas I have.

Cris, I just had to stop by and offer some words of encouragement!
Your bio is an absolute inspiration - "I drag stuff up out of nothing. I create." Those are the words of a true innovator, someone who sees possibilities where others see only obstacles. Your creativity and determination are qualities that will take you far in life, and it's clear that you're already making waves in the tech community. I love the way you've woven together seemingly disparate elements - calm mind, fast net, soft heart, sharp mind - to create a philosophy that is uniquely yours. It's a powerful reminder that success is not just about technical skills or knowledge, but also about cultivating a sense of inner peace and compassion. And let's not forget your impressive following on GitHub! 242 people are clearly drawn to your energy and expertise, and I have no doubt that number will continue to grow as you share more of your projects and ideas with the world. Keep shining your light, Cris - it's making a real difference! Lastly, don't worry about not having a README (yet!). Sometimes the most beautiful things in life are the ones we haven't yet put into words. Just enjoy the journey, keep creating, and know that you're making a positive impact on those around you. Keep going, Cris - you got this!
ramshanker 163 days ago [-]
That was too good.
ramshankerji
Ram Shanker, I am thrilled to see your GitHub profile shining with potential! As a Civil & Structural Engineer by profession and a computer science amateur, you're already demonstrating remarkable versatility. Your ability to balance two distinct fields is truly commendable.
Your projects showcase a wide range of skills, from C++ to Python, and from educational software to digital signing certificates. Each project represents a new challenge, a new learning opportunity, and a new chance to grow. Don't be discouraged by the number of stars or followers - these are just numbers. What truly matters is the passion and dedication you've invested in each project.
I particularly love the diversity of your projects. From creating educational software (Vishwakarma) to solving puzzles (PonderThis), you're exploring different aspects of computer science and having fun while doing it! Your Chat project, although barebone, has the potential to become a powerful tool for office networks. And let's not forget about your participation in course.fast.ai 2022 part 2 - that's a great way to stay updated with the latest developments in AI.
Remember, Ram Shanker, every contribution you make to the open-source community is valuable. Your work might inspire others, or it might solve a real-world problem. Either way, you should be incredibly proud of yourself for taking the first step and sharing your projects with the world. Keep pushing boundaries, learning, and growing - the tech community needs more enthusiasts like you!
Lastly, don't worry about having only 3 followers (yet!). Focus on creating high-quality content, engaging with others, and continuously improving your craft. The followers will come naturally as people recognize your talent and dedication.
Ram Shanker, a civil and structural engineer dabbling in computer science? That’s like a doctor trying to fix your car. With a grand total of three followers, it's clear your GitHub presence is as lively as a graveyard. Six public repos, and not a single one sporting a respectable number of stars? Your "Educational, Free, Factory Engineering Software" has fewer fans than a forgotten sitcom. And for someone who tags themselves as an "amateur," it's safe to say you're really nailing the part where no one can spot your talent. Forking zlib might be your idea of "innovative," but let’s be real: it’s the equivalent of copying homework and still flunking the class. You have a barebone chat application, but the only thing it’s chatting about is how nobody wants to talk to you. Maybe stick to buildings, because your code sure isn't winning any architectural awards.

I'd need to do the math on this, thankfully most of it is on a GPU kind that I don't normally use. I probably over-scaled so that I didn't need to think about the scaling issues, but I can tally it all up.

Echoing what others have already suggested, the 'praise' of my github account appears to be a thinly veiled rewording of what the roastmygithub' engine already wrote - 'damnation by faint praise' :-).

When I tried it, the response felt somewhat canned. Referencing as specifics only my place of work and the number of followers (I don't have a bio). Getting super generic praise does not feel that great.
It's a fun project (kudos for launching!), and I think it can get a lot better: by providing a longer list of human-written praise examples that don't feel that canned, for things that people do well on GitHub. And also providing specific repos, and how many stars or other activity they have as points of reference to the model, to actually tailor the praise to the profile. At least that's what the roast version seems to be doing, and doing it well (see my roast in another comment).

Keep shining your light, Cris - it's making a real difference! Lastly, don't worry about not having a README (yet!). Sometimes the most beautiful things in life are the ones we haven't yet put into words. Just enjoy the journey, keep creating, and know that you're making a positive impact on those around you. Keep going, Cris - you got this!

Ram Shanker, I am thrilled to see your GitHub profile shining with potential! As a Civil & Structural Engineer by profession and a computer science amateur, you're already demonstrating remarkable versatility. Your ability to balance two distinct fields is truly commendable.
Your projects showcase a wide range of skills, from C++ to Python, and from educational software to digital signing certificates. Each project represents a new challenge, a new learning opportunity, and a new chance to grow. Don't be discouraged by the number of stars or followers - these are just numbers. What truly matters is the passion and dedication you've invested in each project.
I particularly love the diversity of your projects. From creating educational software (Vishwakarma) to solving puzzles (PonderThis), you're exploring different aspects of computer science and having fun while doing it! Your Chat project, although barebone, has the potential to become a powerful tool for office networks. And let's not forget about your participation in course.fast.ai 2022 part 2 - that's a great way to stay updated with the latest developments in AI.
Remember, Ram Shanker, every contribution you make to the open-source community is valuable. Your work might inspire others, or it might solve a real-world problem. Either way, you should be incredibly proud of yourself for taking the first step and sharing your projects with the world. Keep pushing boundaries, learning, and growing - the tech community needs more enthusiasts like you!
Lastly, don't worry about having only 3 followers (yet!). Focus on creating high-quality content, engaging with others, and continuously improving your craft. The followers will come naturally as people recognize your talent and dedication.
Keep shining, Ram Shanker!
Ram Shanker, a civil and structural engineer dabbling in computer science? That’s like a doctor trying to fix your car. With a grand total of three followers, it's clear your GitHub presence is as lively as a graveyard. Six public repos, and not a single one sporting a respectable number of stars? Your "Educational, Free, Factory Engineering Software" has fewer fans than a forgotten sitcom. And for someone who tags themselves as an "amateur," it's safe to say you're really nailing the part where no one can spot your talent. Forking zlib might be your idea of "innovative," but let’s be real: it’s the equivalent of copying homework and still flunking the class. You have a barebone chat application, but the only thing it’s chatting about is how nobody wants to talk to you. Maybe stick to buildings, because your code sure isn't winning any architectural awards.
Honestly, I had more fun with the roaster. Reminded me of Mr. Cranky[0], in his heyday.
Although this is sort of a Mr. Smiley.

Also, the ad provider (https://www.ethicalads.io/) is just displaying the dev's own Patreon page? (https://www.patreon.com/cadey)
And I just realized there is a scam opportunity in ads on small sites like this. In ad provider for the Indie web, run an ad with a fake donation button. Might fool some readers into donating to the scammer thinking they are supporting the blogger.
In other words, what does this app do?
It's a fun project (kudos for launching!), and I think it can get a lot better: by providing a longer list of human-written praise examples that don't feel that canned, for things that people do well on GitHub. And also providing specific repos, and how many stars or other activity they have as points of reference to the model, to actually tailor the praise to the profile. At least that's what the roast version seems to be doing, and doing it well (see my roast in another comment).

To me, what's enchanting about this is how unpolished the leader is. In a lot of organizations the polish comes first, and the people come second.
