Do you suspect that once you use vcpkg in production, you will run into many (not so) fun issues? I am, and we did. For the last three years, we have been using vcpkg to build production packages of our libraries across various platforms and to share internal libraries within the company. Vcpkg has served us well for both, but we have discovered many pitfalls along the way. In this talk, I will show you how to avoid them, or at least how to dig yourself out after you've fallen in.
