Among every team I've worked on there have been the devs that have a real eye for detail and truly care about code quality and put real thought into their work. And there are the ones who are just trying to get paid and don't really think too much about it. I trust the former, I don't trust the latter.

The point is the static analysis tool fails the build, so it becomes physically impossible for the godzilla method to exist. I trust the machine to produce a predictable result. People are a huge source of entropy and having a little bit of automation to help contain some of that entropy I think is a very wise use of technology in CONJUCTION with promoting a culture of caring about quality and diligent review.

It's hard to imagine how anyone ever lets godzilla methods and god objects and all other kinds of code smells become a thing... and yet... they're a real phenomenon that seem to make their way into large code bases at some point or other.
