We are a group of students doing a research to find out the problems faced by software developers when:

1) searching for codes online and offline
2) maintaining re-usable codes
3) sharing of re-usable codes

Hope you guys can spare a couple of minutes to provide some feedback. I appreciate any good and constructive comments.

Or you can post your comments in this thread regarding the 3 issues listed above...

Will be very grateful!!

What is you want to know?

Finding code online isn't something I normally do. I find library code and maybe complete applications, but usually that is a result of seeing a signature that catches my eye and occassionally me downloading it and using it in a application.

As for code sharing and reuse.

OOP. Frameworks. Libraries.

KISS. Maintaining simple code is a lot easier than maintaining 1000's of lines of code.
