How to Use Code RoasterYour Complete Guide to AI Code Reviews

Master the art of getting AI-powered code feedback with this comprehensive guide. Learn when to roast, when to explain, and when to fix for maximum learning impact.

Getting Started

Code Roaster is designed to be incredibly simple to use – no sign-ups, no installations, just instant feedback. Here's everything you need to know to get started:

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Prepare Your Code

Select the code snippet you want to review. This could be:

  • • A function that's not working correctly
  • • A class you want to optimize
  • • An algorithm you're unsure about
  • • Any code you want feedback on

Tip: Keep it under 10,000 characters and in English for best results

2

Choose Your Mode

Roast Mode

Best for: Memorable lessons, finding bad practices, getting motivated to improve

Explain Mode

Best for: Learning concepts, understanding code flow, beginner-friendly feedback

Fix Mode

Best for: Quick solutions, bug fixes, performance improvements

3

Analyze the Feedback

Once you receive the AI's response:

  1. 1. Read through the entire feedback carefully
  2. 2. Identify the key issues or improvements mentioned
  3. 3. Copy the feedback using the copy button if needed
  4. 4. Apply the suggestions to your code
  5. 5. Test your improved code thoroughly

Best Practices

Include Context

Add comments or a brief description if your code snippet needs context

Start with Explain Mode

If you're learning, try Explain mode first to understand before getting roasted

Use Fix Mode Wisely

Don't just copy-paste fixes – understand what changed and why

Embrace the Roast

The harsh feedback is meant to be memorable – laugh and learn!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pasting entire files

Focus on specific problematic sections (under 10,000 characters)

Ignoring the feedback

Read carefully and apply the suggestions to similar code elsewhere

Using non-English comments

Keep everything in English for best results

Not trying all modes

Each mode offers different insights – try them all!

Example Use Cases

Debugging a Function

function calculateTotal(items) { let total = 0; for (let i = 0; i <= items.length; i++) { total += items[i].price; } return total; }

Use Fix Mode to identify the off-by-one error and get the corrected version

Learning a New Concept

const result = array.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0);

Use Explain Mode to understand how reduce works and when to use it

Code Quality Check

var x = document.getElementById('myDiv'); x.innerHTML = userInput; x.style.color = 'red';

Use Roast Mode to get memorable feedback about security issues and bad practices
