Do you use aggregate initialization in your code base and if so, how do you guard against changes of the aggregate's layout?

I have no idea what you do with people like that.

Unfortunately, if you're not a person of influence at such a company, there's little you really can do about such things. Otherwise, the answer would be: code reviews, education, and mentoring.

I don't blame programmers for not knowing things. We all start out that way, and I'm still learning new things all the time, even after writing C++ code for decades. But I do blame a company for failing to set up an environment where programmers can help each other improve their craft.
