I asked ChatGPT to roast my code and I haven't recovered emotionally

Thought it would be funny.

It was not funny.

My prompt:

Roast this code like you're a senior dev who's had enough

What I got:

This function is doing more jobs than a stressed parent on Christmas Eve. You've got error handling, business logic, database calls, AND logging all in one place. This isn't a function, it's a cry for help. Also, naming a variable 'data2'? Really? What happened to data1? Did it hurt you?

I JUST WANTED TO CHECK FOR BUGS.

Instead I got a full psychological evaluation of my coding decisions.

More highlights:

You're using a global variable here. In 2024. I don't even know what to say. It's like watching someone use a fax machine at a Tesla dealership. This comment says 'temporary fix' and the git blame shows it's from 2021. We need to have a conversation about your definition of temporary.

The worst part?

Everything it said was correct. Painfully, brutally correct.

My self-esteem: 0
My code quality going forward: significantly better

Try it if you hate yourself and want to improve as a developer simultaneously.

10/10 would get destroyed again.
