You need to build things that can be shared and then encourage reuse. Agreed, that is why sharing is the other half. You need to build things that can be shared and then encourage reuse.

That context is often specific to an application or business process and not entirely portable. Re-use does occur, but it's more often a case of modifying existing services as opposed to building new ones. There are still big benefits with this approach, but it's harder to track and quantify. If you can't easily measure reuse, you can't manage it. How many source control systems, build systems, IDE's, or Registries are you aware of that measure re-use? As an IT mgr, even if you believe this is worthwhile, how do you measure it without using unsustainable and error prone manual tracking?
