When you are a dry-wall builder after some time you will rarely encounter a dry-wall problem you didn't solve once already. This compares to implementing, say, a sorting algorithm for the tenth time, you wouldn't get that all that wrong either. But you usually don't do that, because you can reuse the one you (or someone else) already wrote. This doesn't work all that well for a dry-wall, as someone else is likely going to miss his... Challenge an architect/structural engineer with "build me a tower which is a mile high", this is somewhat closer to many software projects. Except that likely the "mile" is not all that clear in the beginning, and it may end up to be a mile long instead of tall, and being a paved road, but still using parts of the solution for the initial "mile high", since noone wants to spend additional money on having the structural engineer redo his calculations, which may affect interior design in unforeseeable ways. And, true story, construction projects do not go as smoothly once scale grows, like the 300m wall built ... in the wrong place. So it had to be torn down again. Costs a bit more, though, as with software.[/quote]
