You know there's a way around having to do those things every time you use CreateFile, right? It's a neat thing they invented many moons ago, starts with an F and ends with "nction".

Which leads to an ever-growing file called "Utilities.cpp" that gets copied into every C++ project you ever write and god forbid there's ever a bug fix you have to do because it now needs to be applied to 20 separate projects in 20 separate version control systems.

There are ways around having to apply a patch 20 times, too. Libraries and git submodules to name a few.

Secondly, if you use 20 version control systems, you're doing it horribly, horribly wrong.
