Two theories:

1) This is an ego problem. Whoever is doing the development cannot handle being called out on certain software architecture / coding mistakes, so it becomes "nitpicking".

2) The software shop has a "ship out faster, cut corners" culture, which at that point might as well turn off the AI review bot.

1 is super interesting.

I’ve found it’s nice to talk to an LLM about personal issues because I know it’s not a real person judging me. Maybe if the comments were kept private with the dev, it’d be more just a coaching tool that didn’t feel like a criticism?

Private with the Dev, the operator & everyone who uses any product of the training data they build.

This is a company culture problem.

> 1) This is an ego problem.

This goes both ways. I worked for a company where the majority of PR comments were of the "Well, _I_ wouldn't do it this way." form. In some cases, the "way" they were complaining about were direct versions of examples in the language library docs.

One specific case was a PR was held up from merging because I used the plural of "regex" as "regexen" and not "regexes". IN A COMMENT. <eye roll>
