Read the bar at the bottom:

    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.

"although I'm not sure what the point is"

satire, clearly.

wether or not it's good satire is up for debate.

If only rating code could be done that easily...
