Visual Studio Achievements, Badges & Leaderboard

Following the trend for the “gamification of everything”, Microsoft launched the Visual Studio Achievements Extension. The extension adds achievements and badges based on the developer’s work within VS, which are then added to a leaderboard.

More info here and here.

Maybe this will motivate developers to adhere to Code Analysis and other best practices? That remains to be seen. I just hope they add a “Build Breaker Award” soon :)
