The main issue with code metrics is that they're easy to game, and they're not necessarily an indicator of anything. In my day job I just made a big change across many microservices updating a core dependency library, so last week it looks like I've done about 50x more work than I have any other week, but that's because I scripted the update, it's not a reflection of the actual work I did at all.
