In the recent interview with InformIT, Donald Knuth said:

I also must confess to a strong bias against the fashion for reusable code. To me, “re-editable code” is much, much better than an untouchable black box or toolkit. I could go on and on about this.

I have tried in vain to locate any place where he talks about this topic at greater length. Does anyone have a link?
