The tool, which analyzes code for naming conventions and logic errors, offers three levels of critique: Mild, Savage, and Nuclear.", "body_md": "Paste your code. Get **brutally roasted** by AI — technically accurate,\nwildly dramatic, and deeply personal. From a gentle nudge to a full\n**nuclear meltdown**, we'll find every bad variable name so you don't have to.\n\nTo **roast my code**, just paste your horrifying snippet into the editor, select how much trauma you want to endure (Mild, Savage, or Nuclear), and click Roast It. Our AI will analyze your spaghetti logic and spit out an undeniable critique. It's like a code review from a lead developer who hasn't slept in three days.\n\nUsing `data1`, `tmp_var`, and `x`? **Roast my code AI** detects terrible naming conventions immediately. Our language models are trained on millions of repositories, meaning they know exactly what clean, readable code looks like — and they know instantly that yours doesn't fit the description.\n\nYes. Behind the sarcastic insults, this **AI code reviewer** actually finds real bugs, infinite loops, memory leaks, and React anti-patterns. It's a genuine debugging and educational tool wrapped in the aggressive persona of an offended senior software engineer.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-free-tool-that-insults-your-code-but-also-finds-real-bugs", "canonical_source": "https://zlvox.com/tools/roast-my-code", "published_at": "2026-07-26 05:28:19+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-26 05:52:28.418012+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Roast My Code"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-free-tool-that-insults-your-code-but-also-finds-real-bugs", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-free-tool-that-insults-your-code-but-also-finds-real-bugs.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-free-tool-that-insults-your-code-but-also-finds-real-bugs.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-free-tool-that-insults-your-code-but-also-finds-real-bugs.jsonld"}}
