I have lukewarm feelings about this.

On one hand, I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with additional badges -- I thought the first two (the Mars Rover and "code vault" ones) were pretty interesting, and told an interesting story. On the other hand, these feel much more gamified: I don't know what "YOLO" or "Pull Shark" is supposed to mean to me when I see it on someone's profile. And this is coming from someone who really likes the other social aspects of GitHub: I like seeing people's commit timeline, pull histories, &c.

IMO, the failure here is not in concept, but in execution. Rewards and validation are nice; I'd like to see GitHub reach a bit higher with them.
