There's a rather simple metric actually: A good programmers stuff works.

You don't have to go back and fix it, you don't have to rewrite large parts of it to extend it.

One day I want to write a VCS history analyzer to quantify these things. Svn blame ($yourtool annotate) works to an extend, but there's a lot of untapped potential in that data.
