Philip WithnallIf you find yourself writing “$x feels wrong” or “I don’t like $x” in a code review, please stop. Just like the phrase “just do $y” is a trigger phrase, I think these are trigger phrases. Instead, try and work out (and explain) _why_ $x feels wrong or why you don’t like it. That can lead to a better understanding of the underlying problem.
It’ll lead to a clearer review, and means the code author doesn’t have to try and reply to your emotions.
