It was proposed as a badge, but it originally comes from https://blog.codinghorror.com/the-works-on-my-machine-certification-program/amp/

I love these. I would qualify for Arborist and Valued Contributor immediately.

I had a colleague who could have won the "TeeHee" badge. I wanted to tell them about it but they disappeared mysteriously a few years ago and no one seems to know where they went. Especially not Janet, who always has a shovel in their trunk.

(This is sarcasm. I am humorously implying that a person who changes every line of every file in a single commit, breaking everyone else ability to work, disappeared under circumstances implying that their colleague killed them and buried their body in the woods.

I would, of course, never do such a thing. Okay, my alibi is established, let me get my shovel...just kidding.)
