> I disagree with "most", but this is absolutely often an issue. Often people take criticism of their code as criticism of themselves and their abilities, which is always counterproductive. I think it's easy to fall into "this comment is a value judgement on my skill/person, and not my code" if code review feedback is targeted at the person and not the code. Hence the discouraged "why did you do this" form vs the more helpful "this might be better because" format.
