Thats the idea of libraries. Well known, well specified, well tested parts.
Well, whatever.

The obvious difference is "parts".  In manufacturing, things are assembled
from well-known, well-specified, tested parts.  Hmmm....

... If you look at other things
that people build, like oil refineries, or commercial aircraft, we can
deal with complexity much more effectively than we can with software.
The problem with software is that we've never learned how to control
the side effects of choices, which we call bugs.
