my guess if you never wrote reuseable code
Ah... you subtly changed it from well engineered code (i.e. not
throwaway shit that noone can understand) to REUSABLE code, which is
something else entirely. I didn't notice that you called it REUSABLE.
I agree with the sentiments here: a lot of code is written with the
intention that it will be reused, but it never is. So we paid for
something we didn't need.
Agile/XP practices (i.e. YAGNI) say don't design for reuse until you
need reuse.
PS: Please stop turning my perfectly good ASCII into useless non-ASCII.

Reuseable
code is about 3x the cost of a point design,
