Interview with Michael Feathers
summary
Prefers binary metrics that record presence or absence of specific qualities, using those as guard rails to decide what belongs in each system area and to reduce ambiguity; warns that complex scored metrics hide actionable decisions. Emphasizes business transparency: create concrete views that map technical elements to business needs and act as champions of the system inside the organization. Notes this approach surfaces problems earlier and makes prioritization between code and business easier.
