7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
But then it's not your problem, is it?

It isn't your fault, but can most definitely be your problem. If you use code from libraries that do this, then your code can have issues and you are the one who has to deal with it.
Now the discussion is out of scope.

Don't use bad libraries, then ...
(Yeah, I know. Company policy, blablabla. Still ... I think a using declaration/statement in a header is such bad code practice that it should be possible to convince your dev team and managers not to use the library.)

And if your manager wrote the library?
Oh man! I so much know what that means!
Not with C++ where I'm just a newbie. But I also had to endure that pain. And god forbid me of ever have said anything against his code.

You ever try a pink golf ball, Wally? Why, the wind shear on a pink ball alone can take the head clean off a 90 pound midget at 300 yards.
Of course this is all purely hypothetical.
