1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I often feel like code review are mostly filled with unneeded comment for the sake of commenting or to take some sort of "ownership" that doesn't do anything special beside burdening the reviewee with a special cosmetic change udpate.
Anyway, someone was updating my code and I was feeling revengeful so I also asserted my opinion on purely cosmetic and totally irrelevant code! 
Although, come to think of it, the guy was doing unnecessary work in Dispose() because "that's what is done everywhere", even though it's not needed and closing documents take godamn too long (due to all those unnecessary piece of code running in all those Dispose() methods), mmmrrppphhh... I stick to my gun!

One of my earlier co-workers discovered that my code contained a '#define ever ;;' so that I could write an infinite loop as 'for (ever) { ...'. A few years earlier, I was working in a CHILL environment; in CHILL 'DO FOR EVER' is a part of the base language.
This construction made my coworker so upset that he not only changed it where he had discovered it; he searched through the entire code base of the company for other uses, and found a good handful; I had been programming with 'for (ever) {' for a couple of years by then (in embedded software, infinite loops are commonplace), changing every one of them to 'while (0) {', adding an angry commit comment that requested everybody to refrain from making such 'jokes' in our program code - we are a serious company!
Then he brought it up at the scrum, to make sure that everybody would know that in our company, we do not code that way.
I asked if we could make it slightly less cryptic by using 'while (true) {', but this fellow would not under any circumstances accept that. According to him, there is one, single way of coding an infinite loop, that is immediately recognized by every programmer in the world, and that is 'while (0)'. So he would not tolerate anything else.
He certainly had no formal authority, completing his degree about three years earlier, having worked in the company for half a year, I was 25 years his senior. I didn't have to accept his dictate. But he had an unbearable arrogance and self confidence that I didn't care to fight against, so I just nodded "OK!".
At least that episode gave me a story to tell - this is certainly not the first time

Mmmh.... shouldn't it be while (1)?
Now I am worried your colleague might have broken lots of stuff...
Fun story though! I quite like the for (ever)

for the spiritualists: Do while( 1 ) { I = Live(); };
for the materialists: Do while( 1 ) { I = Make_Money(); };
P.S. No offense intended just being a silly programmer about forever.

Do while (ever) { I = TryToLive() && MakeMoney(); }
|

|

try
{
Be_Born();
while (1)
{
try
{
Live();
Make_Money();
}
catch (FinancialException const& e)
{
}
catch (MedicalException const& e)
{

}
}
catch (DeathException const& e)
{
Die();
}

Of course! Sorry about that typo. I prefer 'for (ever)'

I faced a similar situation years ago, and met a similar response. Largely because the people "across the pond" could not get their heads around how time zones work, and the 24-hour clock.

You speak of of your conclusion as if it was universal. Maybe your workplace culture leads to poor code reviews. That does not mean that code reviews cannot be done in a productive way. Cheerz.

I review books. From Manning. I never had to ask them to change code. Ever.
If you want to make a proposition for change, you ask yourself what it is worth. Does your idea add value?
If not, then SHUT THE F*** UP.
