nowadays, as golang dev, i don't even know how DRY looks like :D

what I've learnt throughout many years of coding is that purest mantra one should follow is YAGNI. devs think like devs and strive for perfect code. but that goes directly against the business. the majority of the entire world is being run on really bad code. but that bad code works. and that is what is important.

in a way, you should treat things like blackboxes with strict interfaces. no one should care how the box works, as long as its interface works like it is supposed to.

PS: the dangers of DRY are introduction of deep dependencies that might, and probably will, bite you in the ass along the way. DRY should be used only for libraries, not for business logic - ever.
