General Development My physics teacher likes to say that physics like to make problems they face look like ones that they know how to solve. A simple harmonic oscillation was one he frequently used in class, as is presumably the case in physics in general.

agree: reuseablity

The author is correct and insightful in stating that reuseablity is a dream. Hasn't decades of development taught us anything? Shouldn't we have software systems that have abstracted extremely complex operations in an automated, intellegent & self-executing fashion by now? Shouldn't it ubiquitous?
