I am surely still not yet a senior developer.
Although I already programmed in different languages for the last 5 years I still have a hard time debugging harder issues.
On the other hand I like clean code and try to write expressive, short functions wherever possible. (At present in React)
However it annoys me that around me other developer that are more senior than I am don't write clean code, produce long and snarled methods that are not completely bad but could be easier to read.



My question: Would you dress this in a meeting - like a 1:1 with another developer? Or would you just keep your mouth shut because you are more junior and wait for the critique until you are senior enough?
