True code reuse between projects in the OO world is mostly a pipe dream. That's why so many good OO guys end up being toolsmiths and writing frameworks -- out of a desperate desire to create true reusable pieces of code for common problems.

Reusable code is overrated a majority of the time. The focus should be on creating well designed software that is easily maintainable. Much more software can be built in a shorter time frame this way.

If there is one thing more frightening than mapping your way through a maze of twisty little libraries, it’s getting mired in the framework swamp.

Responsibility trap number one: Building a platform to make other (lesser) programmers more productive.

I can't read the article, the term "framework team" makes me shivering inside...
