And then this answer to the article is also an interesting read.

I just finished up a five-part series of http://labviewjournal.com blog posts based on the following premises... 1) I am not very smart 2) I should architect my code at a level appropriate to my abilities Discuss. Start here... http://labviewjournal.com/2013/05/humility-1/ Brian

I have often thought how useful it would be to have a text save format for LabVIEW VIs. But then I read this and I think maybe it is better that we don't have it. Why? Because someone will create a preprocessor. And then this... http://www.dadhacker.com/blog/?p=1274 Let me just state now, for the record, in some future LabVIEW where such features exist, if you ask me to look at your VI, and I open that VI and find the entire block diagram written in Fortran, and you failed to adequately warn me ahead of time, I cannot be held responsible for any retributive actions I may take during my psychotic breakdown. I used that language professionally years ago... please don't dredge up those nightmares.

[chorus] Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look at my diagrams cause they get better looking each day. To know my G is to love G I must be a hell of a man. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble but I'm doing the best that I can. [chorus] I used to have a girlfriend but she just couldn't compete with all of these love starved women who keep clamoring at my feet. Well I prob'ly could find me another but I guess they're all in awe of G. Who cares, I never get lonesome cause I treasure my own BD. [chorus] I guess you could say I'm a loner, a cowboy outlaw tough and proud. I could use lots of classes if I want to but then I wouldn't stand out from the crowd. Some folks say that I'm egotistical. Hell, I don't even know what that implies. I guess it has something to do with the way that I wire my unmatched VIs. [chorus]

1) I am very smart for very short periods with very small pieces of code and have a FIFO memory retention(without google ). Therefore my LV utils toolkit is very smart and I just have to be clever enough on a daily basis to remember which part of the toolkit solved that problem last time. It's the difference between being smart and being experienced 2) I architect my code at a level well below my abilities since debugging is twice as hard as writing code and therefore I'm not competent enough to debug code written to my ability (to contextually quote Brian Kernighan). Oh. and a framework is an architecture without the important bits (quote: ShaunR)
