It wasn't the best way to criticize the code review. If I could go back in time 15 years, it's also not the first mistake I would fix. It stuck in my mind because I felt bad about it. I was frustrated that I had been hounded to drop what I was doing and fix the build because of clear style guide violations that a reviewer let slip. (A couple years later, Google implemented every commit getting a full compilation and run of all tests that code-coverage showed affected the covered code. These days, I wouldn't have been hounded to fix a build break caused by someone else.)
