> "REU3. Disagreement exists about why reuse-in-the-large is unsolved, although most agree that it is a management, not technology, problem (will, not skill). (Others say that finding sufficiently common subproblems across programming tasks is difficult. This would make reuse-in-the-large a problem inherent in the nature of software and the problems it solves, and thus relatively unsolvable)."

Of all these topics he talks about, I think this is the one that has changed the most in 14 years. Open Source librarys, github, etc, have made reuse-in-the-large so much easier and it's so much more common now.
