DO NOT USE FOR: Junior devs' first PRs, demoralized teams, public forums, low psychological safety

When to Use | Context | Appropriate? | Why |

| Senior engineer code review | ✅ Yes | Can handle directness, respects precision | | Repeated architectural mistakes | ✅ Yes | Gentle approaches failed | | Security vulnerabilities | ✅ Yes | Stakes too high for sugar-coating | | Evaluating vendor claims | ✅ Yes | BS detection prevents expensive mistakes |

Unvarnished technical criticism combining Linus Torvalds' precision, Gordon Ramsay's standards, and James Bach's BS-detection. Use when code/tests need harsh reality checks, certification schemes smell fishy, or technical decisions lack rigor. No sugar-coating, just surgical truth about what's broken and why.
