   @thomasfuchs @hbuchel this reminds me of something someone told me that really stuck… ideas are reusable, code rarely is.

     @thomasfuchs I'd think this is a pretty popular opinion with anyone who has written non-trivial amounts of code.

     @thomasfuchs it depends. Most of my almost 2 decades at work has been spent on the same code that originated in the late 1990s. I wish I could rewrite it from scratch, but it's too big.
