Seconded. It may be that you're in a toxic environment. In such places it doesn't matter how good your design is or how tight you're implementation, you still get hostility and nit picking on code review. And not in a constructive way. Sometimes it's not you, it's them. When development turns into a dick swinging competition, walk away. It's better for your health.

"walk away. It's better for your health"

In situations like this, if you don't make the decision to walk away, the decision will probably be made for you.

If it does get made for you, don't take it personally. Just like dating, there's a better fit out there for you.

Sometimes it's this attitude that is toxic to profitability. OP didn't say it felt unfair, and it's not right for this community to constantly reinforce the "big bad wolf" theory of senior engineer dick swingery when someone honestly wants to get better.
