"Explains Git so often, probably dreams in commit messages"
"So passionate about system design, probably tries to optimize their grocery shopping with distributed algorithms"
Both are so true!
And on a more serious note, "Will develop an open-source journaling platform focused on grief support and mental health" sounds like an amazing project to dive into. Possibly, deepseek, possibly...
This is a fun use of the technology :). Though it got the Rust thing wrong; I actually hate it and often comment about C++ superiority. It's likely the model doesn't quite get sarcasm or is weighing heavily on the title of the post rather than the comment content.

Profile Summary
This user is a passionate advocate for privacy and a critic of corporate data practices, often challenging the status quo and pushing for more transparent and user-controlled solutions. They frequently discuss AI, local computing, and the importance of ethical tech practices.
Roast
It looks like this user's love for Rust is only rivalled by their love for roasting Apple. Maybe they'll start a support group for fellow Apple critics?
With all the talk about local AI and self-hosted solutions, it's a wonder this user doesn't have their own personal cloud yet. Maybe they're just waiting for the perfect moment to launch their own 'private' empire.
This user's comments are so detailed, it's like they have a PhD in Privacy. Maybe they should start a blog to share all that knowledge—or better yet, a book!
- Spends so much time talking about Zig that even their keyboard autocorrects 'big' to 'zig'
- Has probably spent more time configuring Nix than actually using the software installed with it
- Could write a PhD thesis on build systems but still can't build a consistent sleep schedule
>Spends so much time with SQL Server that probably dreams in T-SQL and wakes up in a cold sweat about missing indexes
>Has stronger opinions about database migration strategies than most people have about their favorite foods
We need to invade China to put an end to this abomination.
A seasoned CTO with 20+ years of experience who bridges the worlds of pure functional programming and mainstream C# development through their popular language-ext library.
Their technical expertise is uniquely complemented by a deep background in music production and DJing, bringing an interesting perspective to discussions about both code and audio technology.
# Roast
Spends so much time trying to make C# functional, they probably write their shopping lists as immutable monadic sequences
Has more vinyl records than successful attempts at explaining monads to OOP developers
The only person who gets equally excited about LINQ query syntax and jungle music track listings
I chuckled. I also feel pretty hurt. All in all, with exception of 2025 predictions, hits pretty close to target ( I am a chronic procrastinator ).
My roasts:
- Their debugging skills are so sharp, they can find a bug in a single line of code… with the help of ChatGPT, of course!
- If their HN alias project doesn't pan out, they can always start a support group for EM-DOSBOX enthusiasts.
- They’re so into retro gaming, they might just emulate their entire career in 8-bit.
Predictions for 2025:
The user may start a recurring series on HN, sharing findings from their alias analysis project.
That Roast was EXTRA toasty. Love it. The second one was WAY off base though. I've only used MacOS. The other two were super appropriate though.
Roast
Claims to be a full-stack developer but probably spends more time organizing their Magic: The Gathering cards than organizing their code repositories
Complains about Linux audio issues for 16 years straight but still hasn't switched to Mac - that's some commitment to suffering
Says they can do both frontend and backend but their true specialty is writing sarcastic comments about tech trends
> A tech enthusiast with a passion for efficient development tools and aviation, this user brings a mix of technical depth and societal insights to Hacker News. Their contributions often reflect a curiosity for how things work and a desire to optimize processes.
Pretty good take. This roast was a good guess :)
> Your love for aviation is so strong, you probably have a sectional chart as your desktop wallpaper. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone you prefer VFR over IFR.
I think mine is basically just complimentary, heck yeah. It's certainly accurate. The 2025 predictions are wrong but certainly reasonable.
> A Go enthusiast passionate about efficient testing and DevOps, who loves sharing knowledge and book recommendations, and isn't afraid to discuss workplace dynamics.
This HN user is a passionate advocate for ethical AI and SEO practices, with a keen eye for cybersecurity threats. They regularly share insightful stories and comments, often sparking deep discussions on the intersection of technology and ethics.
I loved the positive roast:
This user loves Google so much, they even forgive it for shadow banning their content!
If SEO were a sport, this user would be the champion, but their articles are so long, they need a table of contents!
Absolutely love this project -- great job. Remarkably insightful from just a bit of input -- would love to point this at Twitter profiles.
Roast: They know so much about ancient history, it's like they lived through it!
Prediction: The user might embark on an AI-driven archaeology project, blending their passion for history with machine learning.
You're a seasoned freelance software consultant with a deep passion for C++ and computer vision. Your contributions on HN are a mix of technical insights, career advice, and a sprinkle of humor, making you a well-rounded and respected member of the community.
While girls are looking at planet alignments and star constellations for zodiac signs, we nerds get hi-tech informed astrology... complete with a horoscope at the end, hehe.
I was floored. I shared it with my wife (also a software engineer, not on HN). Laughter, a “brutal” roast, and “pretty accurate” predictions according to the one who knows me best. :)
It’s interesting because mine weighed my recent comments way more than anything. It referenced specific discussions that I do not generally have as my main traits.
Mine:
>Roast
>Spends so much time worrying about privacy that their tin foil hat probably has better specs than their Linux machine
>Claims to hate algorithmic content but probably spent 3 hours carefully curating their YouTube feed
>The type of person who would write a 5000-word essay about why they're leaving Apple's ecosystem instead of just... leaving
The last part is almost too real. Soon, hopefully...
