- I have to start seperate small test and prototype projects every now and then.
- I have to include third party libraries occasionally, and sometimes weight if it wouldn't be just easier, faster and better for my mental health to reinvent the wheel instead.
- I have to check out, test or use third party projects every now and then. They all use different build systems, different ways to use different build systems and different work around to get around limitations of build systems.
I like C++11 and love C++17 but absolutely hate building and managing C++ projects. It's a mess.
I guess it also applies when you want to integrate a new third party library once a week, in cases where the libraries build system doesn't match yours.
