Yeah, I too have noticed that that badge system seems a bit flaky. My profile, for instance, has badges for years 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, and 10, but the others have gone missing. Also, the sidebar shows that I created my account in 2014. But it is not yet 2024. So how can I have had the account for over 10 years? I also know that I’ve glanced at it in the past and there were considerably more badges than there are now. Maybe I offended the wrong person
. Oh well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I never took the system too seriously. I also wonder whether things like “You updated your SSH key” are good to have in there. Does having such a badge just provide a means of identifying “easy marks”?
