comment Do I really need a unit test framework?
@Jan I don't quite follow. My runner is a main routine common to every C++ program. Does a unit test framework runner do something more sophisticated and useful?

comment Do I really need a unit test framework?
The "framework" we use is all in a very small header file and follows the semantics of assert. So I'm not too worry about the drawbacks you list.

comment Is TCP/IP an OSI Replacement or both are inter-dependent and meant to work together
This sounds like it'd be better asked on serverfault or something as it doesn't strictly relate to programmers.

comment What can one do when “lead by example” doesn't work?
-1 for ageism. Sometimes you need to listen carefully to the "fossil expert" and allow yourself to have a little humility. Then with the knowledge you've gained make your idea even better. Sidelining others just because they're old is a sure way to lose valuable know-how and the support of influential senior devs.
