​​How to Make Your Code Reusable
Reusable code, as a one-stop solution to fix all software problems, is a dangerous myth. Let me explain why.
Let’s say you are writing a software library. You have a great idea bubbling in your head that can create a broadly reusable generic solution. You maniacally code APIs which cover all functionalities and cater to all scenarios. Every possible new scenario, you add it to your API. Your code grows disproportionately. But it is generic in the true sense and everybody starts using it. You are happy.
