I used to be hypercritical in code review, but I started instead just taking note of small things that didn’t really matter and fixing them myself during downtime.

I feel a little mixed on the solution. On the one hand it has the junior devs less afraid of me and more willing to actually ask for help. On the other hand they’re not learning from some of their mistakes. Life is full of trade offs though.

when you make those small fixes, send them to the junior devs to review
It seems a good opportunity for him/her to learn, but just be careful not to sound passive agressive, a comment softening it can go a long way
Brilliant
