As a code-first developer I never judge my work by code metrics or other things in the abstract. What does that even mean? I just cannot agree with most of the things said here.

The definition of great code is not simplicity and test coverage.

The best developers I’ve known have always been code-first developers. They care about the thing they are building, more than just the result. You don’t want a car that just rolls off a slope. You want a car that was pieced together with blood, sweat, tears and love.
