I often use "we" language in code reviews and technical discussions. Just because one person is writing the code does not mean it is their code. It's our code.

I often use "we" language in code reviews and technical discussions. Just because one person is writing the code does not mean it is their code. It's our code. We will have to understand and maintain it. We are all on the hook for it. I've found that using this type of language can often side step the issue of personal feelings because it's not YOU who wrote something that could be made better but it's WE who wrote it and WE should work together to make it as good as it can be.
