If I'm a lowly IC leading a project to improve code reviews, are those interested in my work "bootlickers"? Notice the article didn't say managers, you're assuming it.

I think that's not what this is talking about, or not the message that I expect the writer's target audience to take home.

Is there actually a faction opposed to improving code reviews?

Or are you on your way up, and savvy operators should get with your program, and hitch their wagon to you, including at lunchtime?

No faction opposing the goal, but certainly factions who disagree on whether any particular proposed change is actually an improvement

Yes, that's what you think but I don't see words in the article saying that.
