Comments along this line are my favourite in our industry. Harry Roberts said, back in 2014, "Modularity, DRY, SRP, etc. is never a goal, it’s a trait. [...] but understand that they’re approaches and not achievements". This advice has stuck with me ever since.

Because DRY as an end-goal can become over-abstracted and taken too far, we came up with WET as the counterpart: Whatever is Efficient and Transparent. In the end, we found you want to be somewhere in between.
