One of the goals in software architecture is something called "code
reuse". In some circles project managers laugh at the idea, simply
because most projects never achieve that. Code reuse is when your code
can be used in other projects thus making life easier. Mostly the
problem arises when you have to make objects specific to your tasks thus
making code reuse impossible. It has gotten to the point where it is
called a "myth". Well, I can say that the myth has been dispelled. My
background architecture on my current project is now being implemented
on two other teams. It is a good feeling when your stuff is being used
by others. I still know that the wireless language that I created at
Realpage, BBML, is also still being used. That is what I love about
software architecture. If you design so that your code can be used over
and over again, it will. The only problem is that now I have 2 other
teams needing advice, which sometimes takes away from my current work. I
suppose that is what headphones were invented for. In other news come
February my project is going to be the first to be put on a new HP
Supercomputer that contains 32 dual core processors. This thing is going
to scream.
