How to deal with "Code Nazis" ?

Don't know how you call this guys that see each and every PR as a possibility to annoy everyone else

Team of 4 Devs, all with lots of experience

But there is a special one, that spams each PR with an incredible amount of comments

Most of them are non-sense like "formatting of comments" or "inlining things makes everything unreadable" or "call this variable this and that" although a reasonable name was their

Rest of team including myself is pretty pissed of by him

How to get over that?

Can you give me his contact details? I'd love to have such a coworker! (no joke) 😅

I fucking pisses me off to death when my boss or coworkers commit code without using autoformat or use fucking meaningless (variable|function|class) names.

I can't write maintainable code if they continue to piss on it...

You should give that person a hug. I'd love to have someone on my team spending time on PRs to point out everything! Not even kidding.

Be careful what you are wishing for!

Anytime seen someone writing nearly every codeline of a unit-test in the javadoc-comment?

With certain rules about chapters (input, mock, mockreturns, call, callreturns)

With 100% testcoverage you will love(irony) to refactor code since no IDE will refactor all comments for you

Or talk about GENERATED translation files from angular

He re-formats them for "better readabilty" and blames you if you - and i repeat - do not format GENERATED FILES in his manor

I am not crying because someone better then myself tries to improve things,

i am angry because someone is thinking he is better then anyone, but only talks bullshit

@mcmuffin

All of our team members are taking time for PR

We often suggest simpler solutions or ask question why code is written in a certain way to let the author think about his solution

This certain guy doesn't care if it working as long it's well formatted and well named

By PR I assume you mean peer review. The best of those are harsh ones. You don't learn anything otherwise.
