  Software reuse is a crucial external quality attribute targeted by
open-source and commercial projects. Despite that software reuse has
experienced an increased adoption throughout the years, little is known about
what aspects of code reuse developers discuss. In this paper, we present an
empirical study of 1,409 posts to better understand the challenges developers
face when reusing code. Our findings show that 'visual studio' is the top
occurring bigrams for question posts, and there are frequent design patterns
utilized by developers for the purpose of reuse. We envision our findings
enabling researchers to develop guidelines to be utilized to foster software
reuse.
