I've always thought of it as the American System of Manufactures applied
to programming, ie the use (and re-use) of standardised parts to
manufacture products. It was this system that enabled
nineteenth-century America to catch up and overtake the industrial lead
of Britain, despite the fact that the USA faced a chronic shortage of
skilled labour.

But I'm not sure where such comparisons gets us. Most programmers
manage quite well without knowing this,
