Don't write clean code, write CRISP code

For best results, set your DRY dial to 8 or 9 out of 10. Settings higher than 9 result in premature or excessive abstraction.

But if you hate DRY so much, imagine a word where people set it to 1 or 2. I wouldn’t want to work in that code base.

Whatever you do, never turn it up to 11,

But what if you just need that extra bit of dryness and you're already at 10?

Often the best way to DRY something if to let it sit in the sun a while where everyone can see it.
