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.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.

Those guys all get an A+.
YHBT!
satire, clearly.
wether or not it's good satire is up for debate.
it tells me, after reviewing my code, and saying my non-existent tests are excellent.
I think I'll demur.
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.

Next thing you know Buzzfeed will try to buy the site.
The talk's slides are up here: https://speakerdeck.com/searls/sometimes-a-controller-is-jus...

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.
Hint: If you type in a GitHub username that doesn't exist like "IBetThisUserDoesNotExist" you still get a grade :)

You should change the name of the website to something like : Are you a good contributer ?
edit : Oh it's a joke ? ha. ha. ha.
