I’ve been a professional programmer for a while and worked at a variety of companies. When the teams I’ve been on decided to implement tons of metrics, it’s usually because we had tons of code quality problems. This was usually because we had inexperienced or inattentive programmers wreaking havoc. I currently work at a company where all the devs are pretty good and the code is decent. We don’t really need much in the way of metrics. If anything, we have more metrics than we should. I trust my current team to do the right thing more than I trust a linter.
