#2This is cute but it needs to be obnoxious, not cute. Give me monsters coming out, the screen flashing red when you're hurting and dying etc. If this dude shows up in the middle of your dashboard attacking you you're going to notice. http://cdn.gametop.com/download-free/doom/b2.jpg
Also if the enemies, one per metric, are killed with a chainsaw when your numbers improve or stabilize that would be somewhere close to the pinnacle of awesome.

#4Are we really so desperate to stick with buzzwords and "hot tech" that we wind up creating Heroku-powered Ruby apps with Bootstrap UI widget-filled pages to serve up a set of 5 static images over HTTP, rather than just, say, uploading them to imgur?

The irony of saying "write less code"? Yes, imgur is itself a service, but it's one with much less complexity (and more generalization) than the OP, and the OP gains nothing from its increased complexity.

The difference being that the author of the doomguy website seems to me is just having a laugh and you're being dead serious.

#9I don't understand the point of redirecting every number between 0 and 100 when there are only five gifs.

I think OP's post is tongue-in-cheek.
Like you said, it's essentially 5 different gifs with lots of bootstrap and buzzwords in the title. But hey, it got on the front page too.
