Code line count tends to grow exponentially. The bigger the code base, the more unreasonable it is to expect people not to reinvent an existing wheel, due to ignorance of the code or fear of breaking what exists by altering it to handle your use case (ignorance of the uses of the code).

IME it takes less time to go from 100 modules to 200 than it takes to go from 50 to 100.
