Car built with scooter tires... Scooter built with car tires...
Just not seeing it.
When Java was first becoming popular, I recall emphasizing how important it was to use the standard, well-documented, well-tested java.lang.String, rather than a custom String class as had been done in C++. Application domain experts started asking about strings that didn't fit in RAM (documents).
A great, tested component in one domain may require a significant redesign in a domain with other requirements.

- bbcbasic 11y agoCar built with car tyres. Analogy wears thing because a tyre is a standard off the shelf thing. In software everything that is interesting (and requires employees) is custom to some degree. So it is like a tyre for a rover on the moon. However no need to get that to also work for a scooter on pluto! Unless the sales guy has already promised it!
