Amen. To my mind the most useful metric is what a mentor of mine dubbed "maximum locality". He explained it this way: Go into a programmers cubicle and look through the little stickies on the wall that represent fixes and features to be added. The quality of the code is the extent to which all of them can be implemented by changing one place in one file. I have no idea how you'd ever automate that, at least not prospectively. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
