         | I'm surprised to keep encountering two bad ideas in software
         | which everyone has known are bad ideas for a rather long time:
         | 
         | a) integration by means of a shared database
         | 
         | b) making engineers even _suspect_ they are being evaluated on
         | some source-code metrics
