Blame your code first.

Sure - it's possible that there's a bug in the library that 1,000 other people are using - but it's faaaar more likely that you're using it wrong, making an assumption you shouldn't, or even simply have a typo.

Bugs in other people's code do exist. But you're far more likely to see a bug in your own code that in someone else's. Blame your code first.
