Just this week I came across a set of 20+ controls in a form. Every control downloaded some version of a file from "report". Not once was there any shared code behind any of these controls. Because different people over time touched this code, not all of the functions were in the same place. And those that were each had slightly different nuances. Without DRY, this would be a perfectly acceptable practice. DRY gives me something I have in my head when I see this and refactor into something that is manageable. DRY gives me something I can point to and say "please for the love of god don't perpetuate this folly". |
