Re:Don't DRY Your Code Prematurely by eddd-ddde on Friday May 31, 2024 @11:02PM (#40542541)
That sounds like it was as easy as copy paste.

The day one of those formats changes slightly, it's really easy to update it. If you had a single code base, you now have to think how to refactor out the differences. In my experience when those differences appear is more likely to not be trivial.
