Ha!
I think this is a good idea, but not for software developers. Most developers, the ones you want to work with anyway, enjoy programming and they also take pride in their work and thus will fix programming errors without any extra incentive. But it might be cool for other jobs, stuff that is less fun.
Like system-administration. /me ducks. :)
- petervandijck 16y agosysadmin badges! Interesting. I would imagine that the intersection between sysadmins and gamers is large?
- JonnieCache 16y agoI definitely think it would work a lot better for sysadmins, you're on to something here. The day to day tasks of sysadmins fit more easily into xbox-style "achievements," eg. automating/versioning various aspects of system configuration, uptime records, both system wide and per service. The list goes on. Tell you what would be good, if your config management framework automatically tracked these things for you. Some sort of international Chef leaderboard :)
