My first job as a dev was for a consultancy and I had to review a code base for a client to support their argument that they require a rewrite. I had no idea about any of this so googled metrics, found cyclomatic complexity, and wrote a load of bullshit about the results of analyzing the code base showing it was complex. It served its purpose - they got corporate to accept a rewrite - but I’ve never used those metrics again.
