If you're an extensive user of ChatGPT, or if you can give it some material about yourself like say, a resume or a LinkedIn profile, ask it to roast you. It will be very specific to the content you give it. Be warned, it can be brutal.

Whoa dude! It was brutal, but highly constructive! Actually extremely helpful (and quite funny, though I have a high sense of humor about things so others might not appreciate some of it :-D)

This was my favorite line after asking it to review my resume and roast me:

> Structure & Flow: “Like Kubernetes YAML — powerful, but not human-readable.”

Some other good ones:

> Content & Tone: “You’re a CTO — stop talking like a sysadmin with a thesaurus.”

> Overall Impression: “This resume is a technical symphony… that goes on for too many movements.”

I've got some resume work to do haha

They meant roast you, not your resume.
So rehash of top comments in /r/roastme?
I came back to this comment just to thank you - I started off with Claude, feeding it my personal site, my résumé, the HN roast of me, etc. and it was super funny.

But then, I veered that same conversation into asking for GTM (go to market) advice, and it was actually really good. It actually felt tailored to me (unsurprisingly) and a lot more useful.

As always, I don't know whether this is a very light form of "ai psychosis" haha but still, super grateful for the advice. Cheers

Periodic reminder that there’s also HN Wrapped. [0]

"The user will start a comment with 'I'm a social libertarian but...' only to be immediately downvoted by both libertarians and socialists. The irony will not be lost on them, just everyone else."

I can't say I'm not impressed. That's very funny

>You voted with your feet and moved to Western Europe for better well-being, but you still won't vote with your cursor and use a browser other than Edge.

I love this and hate this at the same time.

Absolutely hilarious, and gives me some self awareness tbh
Spot on and I don't even mind.
