While these are important metrics for good code, there are other metrics as well. For example you can implement bogo sort and it will (eventually) do what it's supposed to do, but it is obviously a bad idea to do this. You could also implement quicksort, and it would be faster, but there's probably already a fast sort in whatever standard library you're using. My top metric is not e.g. readability, it's simplicity. The worst code I see is written by smart people trying to be clever.
