But your reply was to "reviewing code is easily 10x harder than writing it". Of course that's not true if you just kill all PRs that are difficult to review.
Sometimes, code is hard to review. It's not very helpful if the reviewer just kills it because it's hard.

I am absolutely still an AI skeptic, but like: we do this at work. If a dev has produced some absolutely nonsense overcomplicated impossible to understand PR, it gets rejected and sent back to the drawing board (and then I work with them to find out what happened, because thats a leadership failure more than a developer one IMO)
I understand everything about this comment except the words "but" and "it's not very helpful if".
