Starting every project from scratch makes innovation slower and riskier. Rarely do organizations maintain a modular, reusable in-house library, yet doing so provides a foundation for both stability and innovation.
Reusable modules form a reliable base for new software. Writing software abstractly ensures new components can eventually join the library, continuously expanding the foundation. Developers can focus on innovative features rather than reinventing common functionality, and updates propagate across projects to future-proof systems.
In my experience as a senior Java architect, I have rarely seen organizations adopt this practice, but when they do, it enables resilient, adaptable, and innovative software development.
