I never did read his stuff. But aren't libraries effectively this? Not scavenged, but it is more efficient to write small chunks of reusable code and reutilize them everywhere than to constantly write new code

This the libraries are easy to find, reason about, and are easily adapted to your use case, yes. But the SciFi novel put this process more as arduous process because there was just so much code to sift through.
