Not OP but I think the gist was more about solving the same/similar class of problem in a different context. You’re not going to build a library to abstract away certain things, for lots of good reasons. E.g. in OOP you may intentionally not use inheritance between a few similar (but distinct) business cases because of the overall maintenance burden/rigidness it would introduce. So you end up with more boilerplate, but your codebase is overall more flexible.
