Code	<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>FYI: We retired a few coding badges</title> <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Lato&display=swap" rel="stylesheet"> <style> body { font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif; } </style> </head> <body> <p>Today, the Khan Academy engineering team deployed a change that retired a number of badges, many of them related to the missions experience that is going away in June.</p> <p>However, a few of the retired badges relate to coding:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Tinkerer</strong>: Awarded when pausing a talk-through and playing with the code.</li> <li><strong>Virus</strong>: Awarded for sharing a program.</li> <li><strong>1000 Kelvin</strong>: Awarded for having the #1 program in the hot list.</li> <li><strong>Astute Analyzer/Rave Reviewer</strong>: Awarded for evaluating 30/150 projects.</li> <li><strong>Inspiration/Good Inspiration/Great Inspiration/Incredible Inspiration</strong>: Awarded when 1/10/25/50 users make a spin-off of your program.</li> </ul> <p>If you have already earned one of these badges, you <strong>will keep it</strong> in your earned badges list.</p> <p>Previously, 1000 Kelvin unlocked Cool Hopper and Inspiration unlocked Jumping Hopper. Now the Challenger badge unlocks both those avatars, so you can complete a coding challenge to use that avatar. </p> <p>We are retiring the badges due to code that was either buggy or required expensive datastore queries. By retiring these badges, we can focus our engineering resources on the huge engineering task that we have ahead of us: porting the old Python backend to a Go services architecture. You can learn more about that project in this <a href="https://engineering.khanacademy.org/posts/goliath.htm">blog post</a>.</p> </body> </html>
