• Solutions:Gather ample information about

the code that you are about to use. Little knowledge is too dangerous.

You should know the code that you are using. Take your time to analyze it and understand it.

Refer to reliable sources. Risk can cause failure.

Multi-tasking is a very useful tool. It’ll save your time
