I think you misread my comment, or perhaps our definition of high volumes of code is different. Perhaps junior means something different.
I also suspect what I consider "good communication" you consider "micromanagement".
I like reading and talking about what my colleagues are doing every day. I'm interested. I learn new things, and sometimes I teach others a trick or two. Sometimes I tell them I don't like something and we agree to disagree.
Sometimes the requirements change, and that need to be discussed as well.
Sometimes I just like hearing and sharing stories about things that didn't work out. Yesterday I spend a whole day profiling to try and work out why we are leaking so much memory. I didn't work it out, but I can tell my colleagues what I tried and what I will try next.
The point I was trying to make is that a solid 8 hour work day is a lot of time, and I think everybody should have something interesting to say about what they did.
You mean a humiliation ritual? No, thanks. I am not going to build my career at the expense of the dignity of other people.
Build the skills, the trust and the enthusiasm and leave people work in peace. Nobody likes micromanagement. If people could get a paycheck without ever having such conversations they would prefer that. It's a cost to be minimized, not a reward.
Your only value is how much you empower others compared to you being absent. That is the baseline you are optimizing against. And if everything you do is to chase people to forcibly spoonfeed them you are not achieving that.

Right now you are like a first time plant owner that overwaters plants and kills them. Stop micromanaging people.
You sound insufferable to work with and it's probably best you're a remote only worker. I can't imagine what working with you could possibly be like - you seem to hate literally every aspect of employment.
You seem to have no idea what the word micromanagement means either and it seems like you use it to describe any ritual you personally dislike.
