Fully support those who want to use these tools, just don’t forget they are not a crutch. You can still write hard to work with code and know exactly who the SME is. That doesn’t make the code less difficult to work with, less error prone to change. That can only be solved by design and enforced through discipline.


Fully agree! That's why I recommend to monitor the code health trends continuously -- the earlier we can catch any potential issues, the better: https://codescene.io/projects/167/jobs/55946/results/warning...

We have these code health trends supervised as part of our pull requests and use them as (soft) quality gates. [1]

Absolutely. This only helps to nerf the knowledge loss from teammates leaving the project, nothing more.


And nerf knowledge loss from ourselves after a couple of [weeks/months/years].
