  • IIRC, they're based off the number of posts you've made on the site and other things. I think if you answer the QOTD correctly, those also add to the points. I think there's somewhere that breaks down the points -> title...

    Part bragging rights, part gag.

  • They are just some fun way to indicate how many points you have already gathered.

    Some point totals have special statuses that only people who know a lot of baseball understand...

    That would be a useful link to have on the page where they list the points leader board.

    Indeed it is 🙂

    There was a question of the day recently about the statuses, and a lot of people got it wrong because they didn't know the existence of that thread.

  • That particular thread is also no longer true. The "titles" for the higher levels has changed at least once since that post.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • The points are for fun, I suppose. I got a chuckle out of an interviewer when I told him my points title on SSC. He asked me which forums I use.

    I don't know if it helped. I got called back for a final interview. I didn't get the job. They chose a local candidate over me. I would have had to move. I didn't mind moving but they preferred to hire locally.
