Usually it’s one of three things:<p>>Your style isn’t up to spec<p>If you always smell crap, check the bottom of your shoes. I’ve found team style guides to be useless generally, but attempting to emulate team style by looking at existing code is a winning move. Coding is a team effort, and even if it’s a little extra work, a little beautification can go a long way towards readability.<p>>Code reviewers want or are incentivized to help<p>Many code reviewers make a point not to leave a nontrivial review without commenting. Whether this is because they want to help, or because in many workplaces, the code review metric optimized for is “comments closed”, some people will feel obligated. When there’s no substance to dissect, style is often substituted<p>>Someone’s giving you a hard time for irrational reasons<p>This is an interpersonal issue. You don’t, in my opinion, need to worry how others will view you if this happens since most people can tell when somebody is just being a dick in a CR. If you’re concerned about this, try to figure out why you two have beef by asking them and either resolve it, ignore/forgive it and move on (some hills aren’t worth dying on), involve management or HR, or change roles
