Information systems have historically been good at putting things together, and in their latest Web services incarnations they've even gotten good at making things appear to be together without the burden of actually moving them around; until recently, though, IT systems have also made it difficult to figure out where things could be found.

Opinion: Beware of 'Cargo Cult' Coding When code is reused, there's a real opportunity for cargo cult practices to take hold.
