I tend to be picky about code reviews. I'm aware that it causes friction and can come across as unreasonable. It works, we're done, right? Well it's likely to be my problem to maintain this code at some point in the future. Overly complicated? Unstated assumptions? Lack of test coverage? Fits well with nearby things? Solving a problem is fun but software engineering is more than just the fun parts.
