I always stop and think when I am writing almost identical code multiple times. The kind where everything is the same except for a few data types. Or the kind where every third line is slightly different but you can't switch them around into a single code block guarded by an if.

Trying to DRY would turn this code into a monstrosity (templates - even more interfaces - more ifs than actual logic?). I often find myself forced to let the repetition stand because it is the more obvious code. But it never feels right.
