#23Awesome. Evil ideas for improvements. Random typos in class name, function names, comments, such as: inheritance -> enheritance class -> clas cannot -> cannont Pick related words: person -> user, account, customer Random swapping plural/singular users -> user Append "Class" to classnames. example: User -> UsersClass Insert rant comments about, politics, religion, profanity.
"privite" and "private" and "privet" but there are #defines to make them work anyway.
I actually saw code that looked like that from a very dyslexic mate of mine who I worked with a long time ago.

#24This is pretty amazing. I'm inspired to go write something similar now, that uses AI to pad out source code to exactly 80 characters per-line...
Vertical screen users thank you in advance!

also, common capitalization mixups: "ID vs. Id", "snapshot vs. snapShot", "username vs. userName"

#26This is a work of art

#27I used to spend lots of time to prepare some coding tests that mimic real-world situations for candidates, like introducing a small bug to an example code or pretending I've bad coding practice etc.
Now I found the best tool ever! Thank you.

#28What (presumably!) was built as a joke will actually help me a lot. For my side-project (devscreen.io) we have to make lots of realistic coding tests and pull requests with bugs in them for candidates to work on as part of a technical interview. It's actually more time consuming than you'd think to intentionally insert bugs into code in a way that isn't super obvious, so thank you!

I think use cases like this are the right ones for generated code from language models.
I'm pretty sure the vast majority of training data is more buggy than not and literally writing the code is only half of what it takes. The other half is comprehension of the problem it solves which is usually missing from documentation at the level of mere snippets.
