I still regularly fall for this trap. My instinct to "DRY" is so ingrained into me that I always find myself deduping similar looking blocks of code. I think this culture is a knee jerk reaction to dealing with code bases on the opposite end of the spectrum where entire classes are "copy and pasted" with only a single change. I've had the misfortune of dealing with these kinds of projects.

I now try to find the middle ground by remembering to "do the simple thing" even if it appears less elegant. This makes it easier to refactor in the future (if required) at which point more information will be available to design a more appropriate abstraction than would have been possible before.
