The one point that rings true to me is "Focusing on poor metrics such as “issues closed” or “commits per day”"...
I was on the verge of being fired (I moved on to another position before that happened), because my issues list didn't have as many closed items as other developers.
Despite the fact that I'd literally removed over 20kb of code from the project (the prior month) with mild refactoring, using better techniques and all the code I did refactor/add was 100% tested. I also helped a lot of the other developers in the group, and had to participate in the meetings for two teams. But no, the issues closed ruled the roost so to speak.
