Una mirada sobre los principios del desarrollo de Software

Un blog que promete ser interesante: Perpetual Developer, en IT Toolbox. Enfocado en las razones que llevan a "reinventar la rueda" una y otra vez, y deseando promover la reutilización del software. En sus palabras, al inicio:

My intention in maintaining this blog is to try and identify the root causes and fundamental reasons why software developers cultivate a mindset which is geared towards redeveloping software rather than reusing existing software. I know there are numerous technical challenges to achieving real software reuse and sometimes the cost of reuse is higher than cost of development. But is that the only reason why software reuse is not as high as one would expect it to be? Or is it that developers are not trained or not prepared or not motivated to practice real software reuse?

Many times I have heard the term that software development is more of an art than engieering and science. But isn't it ironic that many software engineers who are trained in the software science and engineering methodologies also end up becoming Perpetual Developers, who develop functionally same or similar software artifacts over and over again?
