Pretty sure it doesn't even make a network request-- looks like it just randomly generates each score, then stores them in local storage so that entering the same username more than once will give the same result.
Lovingly (and satirically) created by your friends at test double. Designed by Derek Briggs.
It's not meant to be serious, although I'm not sure what the point is.
Edit: It seems to be (perhaps unintentionally) clickbait for programmers. We can't seem to resist visiting a website that claims to rate our code quality.
Humorously I joked about it hitting HN during the talk, and then it actually did. We as developers can't resist something that'll quantify for us whether we're good at writing software, even when we know it's flawed.

proof that this is random
I mean, Googling for Answers?!
EDIT: Ok, I'm starting to think this whole site is some kind of a joke.
it tells me, after reviewing my code, and saying my non-existent tests are excellent.
I think I'll demur.
Edit: looking at the source, C+ is meant to be the grade, not the language, which makes more sense, even if this is just a fun farce.

Hint: If you type in a GitHub username that doesn't exist like "IBetThisUserDoesNotExist" you still get a grade :)
You should change the name of the website to something like : Are you a good contributer ?
edit : Oh it's a joke ? ha. ha. ha.
Next thing you know Buzzfeed will try to buy the site.
