Of course. And then we fix the problem. It's no different here. The point is that reading the code first is absolutely not a requirement when adopting a new library.

It is not. But there’s an element of trust being involved. Something like libflac or libcurl, I don’t read the code. I read the doc which does outline the behavior of each function and the conceptual model. If something break, it’s quite often my code. Why? because their code is battle tested. Which is quite different from AI generated code.
