By all means chew me up and spit me out if I'm on the wrong track here, but isn't this all about the concept of frameworks. Ralph Johnson did a lot of work on...
I've heard the rule of three a couple of different ways - the number of times code has to be adapted for reuse before it's ready to be generally reused and the...
