Don't build internal libraries - build what you need and use parametric polymorphism. You'll get reuse for free.

Hard to articulate in 140 but the focus should be on something useful. Reuse is "accidental" by nature of parametric polymorphism.
Definitely been more persuaded of this (mainly the first half) recently: YAGNI, and it's just more code to test/maintain/fail.

but don't you end up making libraries anyway once you realise many projects could reuse that code?
-
Yes, but that's the outcome: it should be forked off into a library, which might not get you closer to your goal.
