summary

Argues that code review quality improves by treating reviews as conflict to manage not critiques to win and uses conflict‑resolution patterns plus a simple low‑reward / high‑conflict quadrant to decide what to raise. Recommends concrete practices: use a linter in CI to remove bike‑shedding, rotate people and discuss tasks early to create collective ownership, require everyone to review, ask questions not give commands, annotate PRs with targeted questions, say thanks, and practice the “as if” response to lower defensiveness.
