Who cares if 1% of people "game" it? Do you think people are actually looking up lists of achievements outside of gag websites like this and getting jealous that someone else has XYZ achievement to the point that they'll game the system themselves to get that achievement? And if they do, so what?

So maybe 1% of people do that. We should nuke it for the other 99% who literally just push code into a repo, go to their profile randomly and see that they've earned a new badge?

I have maybe 4-5 badges and I have literally no idea what the next one I'm closest to getting is. I don't even know what badges I'm missing. But it's still cool to me to see a new one show up.
