I think that is a great analogy. Those who start with the little pieces, especially the corners and the sides, finish the jigsaw puzzle faster than those who attempt to finish it all at once, if the...

Note that I did not ask whether the program was reusable. I asked whether the components are reusable. Trying to write a program to solve every possible future requirement is indeed a fruitless task....

In a way, you have a strawman argument, since it is indeed

That's rubbish. Programs are different, but they have common characteristics in their requirements, design, development and maintenance (though these may differ depending on the exact area of...
Define "big project".
Me too.
Unfortunately, real world projects do not work that way. Even if you do not go with a full formal design up front, you still need to talk first and get the...
The reasons why global variables need to be as rare as possible (or more accurately, as rare as feasible, since it is always possible to do without them, but it may not be practical to do without...
That is true, but such global objects should be rare in a well designed program. Note that global constants do not count here since they do not add state, hence it is easy to reason about them from...
We covered your first question recently in dark side of global variables.
