Metric_fu

Some notes on metric_fu

It provides insight into code for new projects from a broad point of view.

It provides good guides for coding generally, or experimenting with new styles of coding. Joe Ferris from thoughtbot said that he found it a valuable experience to develop effigy "reek free."

Naturally, as with any tool, none of the metrics generators will tell you everything that you need to know or do the work for you, but there are a few benefits.

Unfortunately, the default gem install and the example rake task provided on the metric_fu docs will not give you a fully usable version. (I'm assuming this. I have not tested this process on your machine. I only know that they didn't work for me)
