I often found that your remaining 20% is not the same 20% as the library authors, unless the task at hand is very constrained and standardized. Everybody has different edge cases. Finding the bugs relevant to your application in someone elses code is much harder than finding it in your own.
- MaulingMonkey 11y agoMy code turns into "someone elses" code after a mere few years, and my coworkers code is already by definition "someone elses" code, in my experience. Replacing "our" code with a pre-existing library has been a great way to flush out bugs both in our replaced code, and in our calling code, as well.
