Based on a great article we read almost 15 years ago ("Effective Code Reviews Without the Pain": https://www.developer.com/guides/effective-code-reviews-without-the-pain/ https://www.developer.com/guides/effective-code-reviews-with...), we start most code review comments with "Did you consider...?" This makes it non-confrontational and non-judgmental, as the author can easily reply that, no, they hadn't considered that and thanks for the suggestion. Everyone in the company knows it's sort of a gimmick, and we even make fun of it a bit, but even so it still works! "Did you consider extracting this code into a separate well-named function with clear inputs and outputs, to make the original function smaller and easier to reason about and maintain?"
