Tell the truth.

If the code has problems don't be afraid to say so. If this company hired you to help them make money then they don't wan t you to be a "yes man". In the end more people will respect you for your honest opinion.

Sure, but I think noone debated this anyway. How to tell the truth tactfully is a different matter.

Personally, this era of political correctness is starting to grate on me. A spade is a spade. Beating around the bush to spare someone's feelings (or avoid their wrath) is not productive.

I'm not saying that we should flay the person in a hail of ridicule. We have to be able to tell the truth and have people accept it in a dispassionate way. People need to learn to be more objective.

Sorry, I'll get of the soap box now...

Oh, I do agree, but being tactful does not mean beating around the bush. Being honest is not the same as being harsh.
