Lately I've been ripping out crappy abstractions that were all about creating DRY code but instead made the code incredibly hard to follow. Even though the resultant code has a bit of duplication, its much easier to read, reason about, test and maintain. The redundant parts are typically in areas that are unlikely to change. I might try to come up with a really clean abstraction later in order to re-DRY the code, but lately my experience is that a shitty abstraction created entirely for the purpose of DRY'ing code is vastly worse than just allowing a bit of code duplication. DRY only for the sake of DRY is terrible.
