I'm glad you wrote this because I would definitely never consider a person with such an obtuse attitude for any position

It's not about sensitivity it's about not being a inconsiderate pedant

I'm also sure that a lot of your critique has no basis in technical quality rather than personal preferences. This is what I see time and time again with the people that "worry most" about the code (but when it's their code that's critiqued it's full of problems). Uncle Bob fans, "code craftsmen" all those people make my BS detector beep

There are also people that pick a lot of "problems" in the code that ignore glaring issues in other areas/code they wrote/other aspects of the issue, including further code maintainability, readability (no, being readable to you does not mean it's readable by somebody else), etc

It's not so much about bruised egos rather than wasting company time with pedantic nitpicking, not trusting colleagues (which is fundamental and you seem to be utterly incapable of), overstating your own importance in the team (unless you really picked a company full of bozos, which in the end is your mistake again)

I am all against pedantic nitpicking. One of my most common complaints was to concentrate on the actual problem, not on the style. I am not a "code craftsman", I am somebody who knows a lot about how to solve a problem with code. And I don't work for anyone except myself anymore.
