Basline recently published an article that listed Gartner's "7 Grand Challenges" for 2008. Check out #6:
6. Increase programmer productivity a hundredfold. As demand for software development increases, and the number of students pursuing software engineering and computer science degrees declines, meeting future demands will require increasing the output and productivity of each programmer. While tools that enhance productivity continue to capture attention, the best solution may lie in effectively and efficiently exploiting reusable code. But many challenges exist there as well, including minimizing the time required to find the perfect module and avoiding the need to modify reusable software. [emphasis added]
Agreed. And this is the power of DevHive: componentized software created by a development community financially incented to create value.
Wouldn't surprise me if #6 came from Mike Blechar, Matt Hotle, & Matt Lightner. It was their work on reusable SODA environments that inspired the initial ideas behind DevHive.
