I miss working in an environment like this. I was actually surprised to find so much negative feedback in the comments.

I think a detail getting glossed over is that the tone needs to be calibrated to the relationships between team members. If team members joke around with each other, send silly gifs, get lunch or coffee together, and are generally on good terms with one another...then it's known that you don't take PR comments personally, they're just feedback. And the more critical the feedback, the better developer you become.

I can tell you that this is the kind of environment I work in and the first thing I teach a new teammate is that the team is only concerned with consistent high quality code. I think it is a good lesson for most developers and software engineers to separate their personal feelings from their code. It can help you be less defensive of your approach and take in multiple viewpoints to find the best possible solution for the task at hand.
