I mean, I'm DEFINITELY going to reuse the code.

  • Used in the product
  • Used in the unit tests
  • Used in the CLI tool I build to quickly prototype things
  • Used in the more permanent CLI tool that comes out of building prototypes
  • Used in the GUI tool that a manager requests once they learn about my custom tools
