I understand what you say — we never judged anyone on such metrics, but I agree I didn't do a great job at elaborating on that. Like you said, the metric is very simple, it's just an indication that is useful to understand bottlenecks, and to have some fun in a tight-knit startup team (that doesn't work long hours) where people don't like that much fixing bugs :)

Like others have said, I think the line between this being healthy and useful, and this becoming a nightmare is fine, and it gets probably harder the bigger the company is.

Thank you for your feedback anyway!
