    Praise my GitHub profile!

    Instead of trying to tear eachother down with AI, why not use it to help lift others up?

      Even that feels a little insulting. "Don't worry about <glaring flaw in your profile>! <glaring flaw in your profile> isn't the only thing matters!!!" kinda thing. But still, I appreciate that...

      The reality is that no matter what, my public github profile's going to look "bad" because I mostly do work in private repos all day and the public stuff is just a bunch of half-made personal projects.

      I much prefer this one. Maybe I just don't "get" roasting, or maybe I'm just too insecure about what I put out there, but the roaster was just a little too mean for me. :(

    Kind of crazy how mean-spirited this is, though. Roasting is one thing, but it basically said the same cruel things about every profile I fed into it: not enough followers, not enough stars, lame name. Would be neat if it actually roasted the content of the repositories, but I suppose we should at least try to limit the amount of dead dinosaurs we burn to make computers generate insults.

      It told me off for using C++. In a fork that I created solely to submit one pull request to a project written in C++.

      I mean, I also willingly use C++ for other things, but the specific one it complained about wasn't my choice.

    I legit snorted when I put my GH name is. I have a repo called PowerShell Digital Forensic and the roaster called it a "PowerShell Dutch Oven, all hot air and no substance". It called me mediocre...

    It called me mediocre and that I should go back to my high school tech club.

    I tried doing this and it seems like it roasts me off of stuff I put in my repo years ago. Added some other stuff a few days back and it still reverts back to the same insult.
