Sometimes it's OK to repeat yourself. I really wish devs didn't abstract every line of code for "reuse."
Agreed, with abstraction comes complexity... complexity causes problems too
What is the point?
Agreed. If one wants to stop oneself copy-pasting, one should have a little willpower.

If one wants to stop someone else copy-pasting, like for a student's test in a school environment, there might be some utility here — though I would say a system-wide utility might be more useful.
