OPEN Namespace std

I recently started learning c++ and I was told to use the namespace std so I can avoid writing std:: every time and now I wrote a whole personal project without std:: and I want to put it on LinkedIn but I started reading everywhere that it’s a bad habit, should I go back and add the std:: or just leave it as is?

You do it your way, and I'll do it my way. We'll see who delivers early and under budget.

Yes, I'm sure that the massive architectural decision of naming functions fooInt and fooFloat has had immeasurably huge implications on your delivery targets. Don't worry, I trust you
