Wasn't it here on HN that people have posted about the ritual "hazing" of new engineers on their first code review where literally thousands of "code issues" are flagged to be fixed? While that sounds kinda funny and I would probably roll my eyes at this if it happened to me, some people have taken it personally and quit over it, apparently.<p>That said, poignant and brief code reviews are the best and I love that education is listed as the first goal of Google's code reviews.
