Often you are not sure about the status of code you find online. Has it really 
been tested? Does it still work on my system, with my SDK? And worse of all, if 
something does break, how can I fix it if I don't understand what that code is 
actually doing? That is my greatest fear: not being able to support my own 
software because I made it rely on 3rd party code that I do not understand.

But I get the idea, including more newly written code does of course mean more 
testing and more possible bugs. So if you find a trusted source for your wanted 
code, I guess it would be okay to use it, I would also do it. But just look at 
that stackoverflow.com link I gave earlier, and the discussions about the 
solutions given. It is not that easy to find quality code that you can build 
release quality products on, I think...

I hope I am wrong, I need a few decoders and encoders and socket libraries 
myself currently ;-)
