Introducing Shitify — A Reverse Linter. Add errors to your code.

https://shitify.pro

Shitify.js is a new tool that’s shaking up the world of software development. It’s a reverse linter, which means it adds errors to your code.

It’s simple to use. Just install it with npm:

npm install -g shitify
shitify myCode.js

Now your code is full of errors!

This might sound like a bad thing, but it’s actually a great way to test your code. If your code can handle errors, then it’s probably robust enough to handle anything.

Great features!

Additionally, Shitify can make you rich when coding smart contracts because — if the opposite of Biggie’s maxim “Mo money mo problems” is true — more problems in your blockchain means more money.

Disregard females, acquire currency!

You can also release your shitified code to production. If you do that, your app will include a floating banner that says “This app is so good that we added some shit and it still works!” The marketing angle alone is worth it.

Example

Let’s say that you have this simple javascript code that increases a counter every second:

let count = 0;
setInterval(() => {
  count ++;
}, 1000);

After running Shitify on it, your code will look like this:

// Lord, please forgive me for what I'm about to code
let count = 666;
let isSatanInTheCodebase = true;
setInterval(() => {
  count--;
  // this is where the devil hides
  if (isSatanInTheCodebase == Boolean(420)) {
    eval("while(true){await fetch("POST", "https://www.vatican.va/content/opus-dei-holiday-pictures", "https://catpictures.com/random")}");
  }
}, 69);

Good luck trying to debug that one!

Closing thoughts

As you can see, Shitify is a revolutionary way to make sure your code is robust and secure. Additionally, it’s perfect for making AI generated code your own.

That is, until AI gets smart enough to take over your job — and your girlfriend. But hey, let’s not think about that.

Happy coding!
