I like this. It's difficult for me to generalize from examples like this, though.

I am terrible at giving code reviews to people who aren't good at receiving criticism. I hesitate before making statements, which gives the impression that I think something's bad with the code, which is TRUE, but I don't know how to soften the blow.

How do you handle people who take criticism of their code as an attack on their identity?
