It's so awesome to see someone actually quantify what 'smelling fishy' actually means and leads to!

An awesome post! 💯

There are a lot of code analysis tools out there that can automatically identify code pattern / style debt or duplication. They don't catch high-level design issues, however. Many of these tools try to associate an hour or day cost per violation too, so it's out there. SonarQube is one to look into. I also love NDepend for .NET Code. Just bear in mind that there's more to debt than things that machines can automatically identify.
