Code reviews can easily become a tool for people with huge egos to prove their smartness. I get code review comments for grammar of my comments or very small code style preferences that Google&#x27;s anal style guide can&#x27;t enforce (yet).<p>I like code reviews, don&#x27;t get me wrong. But there should be a way to respond with &quot;you just shut up, you&#x27;re only trying to make yourself look smart&quot;.<p>It&#x27;s all because higher up people mostly look at code review conversations this is happening. The other day I asked my peer how do I write this code? A or B? He said I don&#x27;t care, A seems fine. Then in code review he commented it should be done in B way.<p>It&#x27;s all politics.
