The Glorious Days Of Past When You Got Roasted For Shitty Code

Remember when code reviews were actually about code quality and not just a checkbox in your sprint board? Back when senior devs would absolutely obliterate your nested if-statements and you'd walk away a better programmer instead of filing an HR complaint? Those were simpler times.

Now everyone's so worried about "psychological safety" and "creating a positive environment" that your 500-line function with zero tests gets approved with a gentle "looks good to me! 👍" The bar is so low it's practically in the basement, and somehow we're all supposed to pretend that's progress.

Sure, nobody should be an asshole, but there's something to be said for the old days when getting your code torn apart in a review actually made you write better code next time. Now we just merge everything and deal with the consequences in production like civilized people.
