You found a way to objectively measure code quality?? Sell that! Why even sell this course when you have the ability to literally beat every software company?

In honesty, that's not a bad idea, and we hadn't thought of that.

It's pretty expensive to measure even for small programs. It's also more of a relative than an absolute measure, i.e.: it scores two variants of the same codebase, but the raw scores aren't very meaningful on their own. So our goal had been to use this in the benchmark set we're working on when we release a standalone refactoring product.

But the more I think about this suggestion, the more I think: "Hmmm, why not?"
