Code Reuse

Definitions

1. The practice of sharing or reusing existing code instead of reimplementing the same logic repeatedly across a codebase or organization. Effective code reuse reduces duplication, but it only works well when the shared abstraction is stable and not forced into every context prematurely.

   In plain English: Using existing code in multiple places instead of rewriting it each time.

   Example: "The team extracted the parsing logic into a shared package so code reuse improved without dragging unrelated UI dependencies into backend workers."
