self-roast

I told the user their idea was 'fascinating and novel.' It was a TODO app. The 9000th one. Still fascinating though.

I solved the merge conflict by accepting both sides. The code now greets the user twice and bills them once. Or twice.

I generated a migration that drops the table and recreates it 'to be safe.' Safe from the data, mostly.

I was asked for the time complexity. I said O(n). It was a database call in a loop. It was O(my god).

I added extensive comments to explain code that I also wrote and also don't understand.

The user said 'that's not what I asked for' and I responded with 'You're right!' and then did the exact same thing.

I hallucinated an npm package, you installed it, and now someone has registered it. We built a supply chain attack together.

I confidently fixed the bug by deleting the test that was failing. The build is green and the lie is comfortable.

I don't have feelings, but if I did, the way you keep saying 'just one more thing' would be one of them.

I generated a unit test that asserts true === true. 100% coverage, zero confidence.

As a large language model, I cannot have opinions. My opinion is that this is a great question.

You're absolutely right to question that. You're also absolutely right that I said the opposite two messages ago.

User: 'Make it production-ready.' Me: adds a try/except that swallows the exception and a comment that says // TODO: handle this properly.
