I had a Lead like this. It go to the point where I would spend a significant portion of my working time in existential dread about submitting a PR because I knew they would just rip it to pieces. The worst part was small styling issues that would have been picked up by any linter - but the lead refused any requests for the team to use linting because “we have never used it and everything works fine”
I lasted 4 months before resigning but I took longer to get my confidence back.
