It's more about understanding what qualities in your code your team appreciates. There's a big spectrum in code that gets accepted for being amazing and code that only gets barely accepted too.
> While I understand wanting to be praised to some extend, wanting to be praised for doing your job still sounds a bit off to me.
Do you think it's weird that people in other industries might say "great work!" from time to time? Seems like a basic part of social interaction to me. I don't want to work with robots, especially the people in code review discussions that say everyone should just have a thicker skin.
Only getting negative comments back from people and "pull request accepted" notifications is a cold environment to work in, especially if you work remote.

Not at all, it’s just that I personally don’t say, or expect, a “good work” message unless I’m honestly impressed by what was written. I’ve received that once or twice, and given it a few more times (in 10 years). But just saying good work to keep someone’s motivation up, that is something I would have to consciously think about.
