A cursory search finds only a couple of remarks about re-use.

  A modern software dev gotta know the skinny on reusability.
  Here's the lowdown:

  - Focus on crankin' out top-notch, well-abstracted, and
    well-documented reusable software goodies (code, designs,
    specs, the whole nine yards)

  - Make sure them reusable components are loosely coupled and
    can be tweaked to fit different contexts

  - Set up them organizational processes and incentives
    that'll reward and grease the wheels of reuse

  - Invest in some serious testing, version control, and
    security checks for them reused components - gotta keep
    'em squeaky clean

  - Prioritize that modular, clean, and maintainable code
    design to set the stage for future reuse

  - Leverage them design patterns, architecture principles,
    and software frameworks

  - Gotta work across teams and projects to develop them
    widely-accepted, high-quality reusable resources
