It is sad… Many writers on here probably deserve this badge, but they can't get it because they have written content? Seems a bit backwards…

But, what DEV does is what DEV does. Probably not any of our business. I hope new people who get this badge will be happy. 🥰

It is definitely backwards as the Writing Streak badges are a part of a series.

It is also definitely what they chose to do, so we will have to be OK with it. XD

I disagree. We are a community, we are in this together and DEV is open to input. What happened just now with the new badge is the proof of that :D

I saw this badge yesterday and I was not happy about it. I have been working real hard to get all the Writing Streak badges, and as I am about to get what I thought was the last one in the series, you guys introduce a new one which is impossible for me to even get!
