Roast My Code

Every developer thinks their code is clean until a roast says otherwise. Paste any code snippet and get two takes: a brutal roast that calls out the spaghetti, the variable names nobody should ever name, and the logic that makes no sense — plus a friendly code review that actually helps you make it better. Free, instant, works with any language, and considerably more honest than your rubber duck.

The tool analyzes your code the way a senior engineer would in a PR review: scanning for readability, maintainability, performance, and obvious red flags. The roast persona goes hard on the anti-patterns, the magic numbers, the deeply nested conditionals, and the comments that explain nothing. The friendly persona then provides actionable improvement suggestions — better variable names, cleaner logic flows, and structural changes that would make the code easier to work with. It adapts its feedback to whichever language you're using.

This is for developers at any level — students learning to code, professionals preparing for code reviews, open-source contributors, or anyone who wants a fast, honest read on a snippet they're working on. It supports every major language: JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C++, SQL, and more. For the web-facing output of your code, try our Roast My Website tool to evaluate your site's copy and messaging alongside the technical implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Any programming language. JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C++, SQL, CSS, HTML — paste whatever you have. The roast adapts to whatever language you're using.
A single function or component works best. The tool gives more specific feedback on a focused snippet than on a massive file dump. If you have a whole file, pick the most interesting or problematic part. For the website your code powers, try our Roast My Website tool.
No — this is a fun, fast sanity check. A real code review also covers architecture, test coverage, security, and team conventions. Think of this as the roast your code deserves before the serious review.
The roast persona gives you a brutal takedown with some actionable points. The friendly persona gives you specific suggestions and improvement ideas. Neither will rewrite your entire codebase, but both will point you in the right direction.
No — the code you paste is analyzed and immediately discarded. Nothing is saved or shared. But avoid pasting proprietary code or anything with hardcoded secrets, same as with any AI tool.
The tool may flag obvious security concerns it notices — like hardcoded secrets, SQL injection risks, or XSS vulnerabilities — but it's not a dedicated security scanner. For thorough security audits, use purpose-built tools like Snyk, SonarQube, or OWASP's testing guides.
The friendly review may call out obvious performance concerns like unnecessary re-renders, N+1 query patterns, or inefficient algorithms if they're visible in your snippet. For deep performance analysis, profiling tools specific to your language or framework will give more precise results.
Paste your code here for a developer-focused roast, then try our Roast My Website tool to evaluate the user-facing copy and messaging that your code produces. Together they give you a full picture of both the technical and content quality.
