I think Goodhart's Law is in effect here. As a management metric, I would find this concerning - perverse incentives and false positives all over the place. But as a personal observation, I'm going to take it to heart. This (like most other metrics) seems most useful from a starting point of "while doing my daily work and seeking to write good code, I will apply this". That doesn't make a good tool for deciding who's talented, but I'm still going to remember it.
