@Peter

The DRY and WET Award

For the user who thinks DRY and WET have something to do with doing your laundry.

Peter, three days ago, I claimed the 'Aficionado' badge and the Dry and Wet award while coding with MIT App Inventor and posting in the forum

[SRIKAR_B.S.S]

Well Explained

"Easily Understandable Human", is this a better name? I was thinking for a while

This is an award which goes to the most well explained person in each topic...

[SRIKAR_B.S.S]

@AyProductions

For the user who thinks that they always need extensions in their projects!

I am one of this kind
I need this award,

This does not appear to be an Anti-Award ?

Perhaps you get the award for user most likely to not understand the nature of the topic ?

Oooo...
I didn't get it well, its an award

Cuckoo

Cuckoos don't build their own nest. They just hide their eggs in the nest of other species and if the host species doesn't notice that strange egg then the newly hatched cuckoo will actually take the whole nest for itself by taking other eggs in the back and dropping the eggs from the nest.

This award is to that developer, who develop an extension from some other developer's dependencies or classes and post it on the community without giving them a credit.

Wheedlie

This award goes to the longest thread without any sign of effort to learn anything, but only to wheedle a Power User into writing their app for them.

There is one person who can claim the gold medal in this category. All power users know who this is!

[Ghica]

Thank you @ABG, this has become a most interesting list!

Bats Award

Bats sleep in the day, but wake up at night. This award can be awarded to the developer who does exactly opposite as everyone's advice, like when we tell him/her to not do something, that's the exact thing she/he will definitely do.

[gordonlu310]

I designed a Discourse badge for that.

[gordonlu310]

I photoshopped some brand new badges.

How to get these badges

To get the Cuckoo Developers badge...

• In the last 100 days, must have copied at least 3 dependencies / classes from other developers without credit,
• Must have zero knowledge of Java or Kotlin but makes extensions.

To get the Doppelgangers badge...

• Must have copied at least 3 tutorials from the community,
• Must have ignored at least 10 negative comments from their videos,
• Must have at least 2 viewers who watched their videos getting help in the community.

To get the Bat Award badge...

• Must have ignored suggestions from at least 4 community users,
• Must have ignored at least 2 articles of the posting rules (such as Naming Conventions).

Also, for all of these badges, 'You can use this badge as title' and 'You can earn this badge multiple times' are enabled.

Can someone suggest requirements for the other badges?

DRY and WET

what's wet means?

wet

The answer is only a Google search away...

WETEdit

Violations of DRY are typically referred to as WET solutions, commonly taken to stand for "write everything twice"[4] (alternatively "write every time", "we enjoy typing" or "waste everyone's time"). WET solutions are common in multi-tiered architectures where a developer may be tasked with, for example, adding a comment field on a form in a web application. The text string "comment" might be repeated in the label, the HTML tag, in a read function name, a private variable, database DDL, queries, and so on. A DRY approach eliminates that redundancy by using frameworks that reduce or eliminate all those editing tasks except the most important ones, leaving the extensibility of adding new knowledge variables in one place.[5] Kevin Greer named and described this programming principle.[6][7]

Three brand new Discourse badges.

To get the Pluggers badges...

• Requested in the community at least 7 times for extensions that can be easily replicated with built-in blocks.

• Forgot the addition, multiplication, join, and/or and the open another screen blocks.

To get the Plungers badge, in the last 100 days...

• Used at least 70 assets in one single project that can be replicated with image or sound links.

• Used at least 3,000 blocks that can be reduced with at most 600 blocks.

• Used 300 components in 1 screen that can be replicated with DynamicComponents or CompCreator.

Platinum Jubly

This is named after

Cups and plates meant to mark the Queen’s 70-year reign misspelled jubilee as “jubbly,” the BBC reported. The error appeared on more than 10,000 mugs, tea sets and decorative plates, People reported. There is an illustration of the Queen surrounded by the images featured with her coat of arms -- along with the spelling mistake, according to the magazine.

To earn this medal, you must have made an error and duplicated that error many times in the Blocks Editor.

Yay I earned this badge!

@Taifun
Thank for that explaination I didnt have any idea about it (I even dint look at Google as I thought it would have been a waste of time and would have gave me another meanng of the one I thought :).

Do I get an award for this clear explaination ?

[uskiara]

What about a "Pinocchio Award" for those who ask for help masking a homework to be done for the day after ?

[gordonlu310]

@uskiara

對於那些尋求幫助掩蓋第二天要做作業的人來說

Probably yeah.

Does this count as cheating in school? I never attempted that when I do my homework.
