This could seem pithy, but as a middle-aged software developer with a comfortable existence, I recognize a lot of where you're coming from. I think that it's hard to reduce work hours too - it's how a lot of us in industry

I'm still learning too, but I think that something I'm trying to develop is a sense for the longer-term costs and implications of apparent defects. - Is this a component that every engineer is going to interact with and that will

There's so much nuance in code review communication. The way I'd interpret this article's advice in the context of reviews would be: don't begin adding comments about minor annoyances and details that you've notice
