What is the difference between existing code and an existing product made of code, for the purpose of reusing code? The distinction (which I understand is not your own creation) seems forced, if not ambiguous.
- drakaal 13y agoCode doesn't come with a business model. A product does. Code doesn't come with User Feedback and refinements based on real world testing. A Product does.
