Read the bar at the bottom:<p><pre><code> Lovingly (and satirically) created by your friends at test double. Designed by Derek Briggs.

It's not meant to be serious, although I'm not sure what the point is.<p>Edit: It seems to be (perhaps unintentionally) clickbait for programmers. We can't seem to resist visiting a website that claims to rate our code quality.
"Tell the world you're a C+ developer!" (sic)<p>it tells me, after reviewing my code, and saying my non-existent tests are excellent.<p>I think I'll demur.<p>Edit: looking at the source, C+ is meant to be the grade, not the language, which makes more sense, even if this is just a fun farce.
Hey HN, I actually made this site as a companion to my RailsConf talk yesterday (I'm sure it was humorously confusing out of context).<p>The talk's slides are up here:
<a href="https://speakerdeck.com/searls/sometimes-a-controller-is-just-a-controller" rel="nofollow">https://speakerdeck.com/searls/sometimes-a-controller-is-jus...</a><p>And video here (better versions coming soon):
<a href="https://youtu.be/LdWMcs9EEOE?t=2h56m" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/LdWMcs9EEOE?t=2h56m</a><p>Humorously I joked about it hitting HN during the talk, and then it actually did. We as developers can't resist something that'll quantify for us whether we're good at writing software, even when we know it's flawed.
It's completely randomly generated.<p>Hint: If you type in a GitHub username that doesn't exist like "IBetThisUserDoesNotExist" you still get a grade :)
I saw this being launched live here in this talk <a href="http://railsconf.com/program#prop_897" rel="nofollow">http://railsconf.com/program#prop_897</a><p><a href="https://youtu.be/LdWMcs9EEOE?t=3h24s" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/LdWMcs9EEOE?t=3h24s</a><p>(I can't seem to link accurately into the moving live stream)
Release Strategy, Future-proof Avoidance and Commit Message Clarity have nothing to do with determining if the code is good.<p>You should change the name of the website to something like : Are you a good contributer ?<p>edit : Oh it's a joke ? ha. ha. ha.
Those are funny sometimes.
I like the "Empathy for Maintainers" one.<p>Torvalds:<p>Empathy for Maintainers: C-<p>Future-proof Avoidance: C-<p>Conscientious Logging: A+<p>Googling for Answers: B<p>Commit Message Clarity: B-<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/Lwu64Ms.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/Lwu64Ms.jpg</a>
