THIS HAS BECOME THE MODEL FOR WRITTEN CODE (see the three images in this article).
Before inclusion into my projects, I inspect the code of others' published frameworks; even if I must decompile the assembly and run obfuscation-reversal utilities.
For what reason?
Well, take this non-sensical feast of vulnerability spaghetti, written by Microsoft GITHUB to satisfy the most undiscerning script-kiddie consumer!
Need I imagine where this embarrassment was written?
One of the salient justifications for NOT using others' "professionally written" code.
The first image is a typical example from Microsoft's GITHUB framework (with my comments as callouts).
After that, the next two images are from my personal project I wrote years ago (I will not publish the code I wrote for clients).
WHAT HAPPENED TO PRIDE IN ONE'S CRAFT? This is why hacks are so common now.
Oh, yes, OBFUSCATORS. In my experience, obfuscators are a waste of resources. I have not encountered one yet I cannot reverse.
Instead, coders, demand Microsoft provide the option to compile as native code into autonomous, dependency-free libraries like Delphi. The latter is difficult to reverse even in IDA Pro.

Why not... A SECOND EXAMPLE FROM THE SAME MICROSOFT GITHUB ASSEMBLY.
