Issue: I am still unable to stop myself from doing line-by-line code review

Response: Try experimenting in a low stakes environment

From Google: "Exposure therapy is a psychological treatment designed to help people confront their fears, break cycles of avoidance, and reduce anxiety."

The thing is that's not an issue in the slightest, it doesn't need therapy!!

It's those who don't do it who'd need a talk..!

No. The issue is: "I notice too many things (redundant code, duplicate code, overly complex architecture, etc.) during review"

How does "low-stakes environment" fix that?
