> Young people who "need reviews" do not actually need reviews but validation. I think that is cynical and I believe that you are generally incorrect. Every engineer is individual and has their own needs. It is my belief that good management attempts to understand the needs of individuals and will provide them what they need. Maybe you have managed people who were seeking validation during the review process, I have no doubt they exist. But I have personal experience with team members, to whom I have had the responsibility to deliver reviews, and they were looking for clear feedback.
