I have a similar rule of thumb: when you do a thing the first time, just get it working. When you do a similar thing a second time, just get it working. When you do a thing a third time, pull it together as a cohesive abstraction.

This is a silly generalization, but the point is that you generally need to see a handful of examples of a thing before you can make any useful abstraction. What's more common is people creating abstractions during the first iteration, leading to features that are never used, and others that were never considered.
