Really nice read. I particularly liked this part:
What are our metrics? Lines of code—what does that measure? Story points?
Reminded me of a project I saw in /r/shittyprogramming maybe a year ago. It was 200,000 lines of code for a game of Battleship. Board analysis was done completely statically, meaning that he had entire case statement blocks for each and every single position on the board and used a single variable to store the board's state. Most hilarious thing I've ever scrolled through on pastebin.
It's... interesting.
