I’ve found the same, and have leaned more into patterns and proximity as guides. Find good patterns that can be repeated easily and predictably. Also, keep related code close together so it’s easy to find and copy somewhere else. Often times there are higher level abstractions that emerge which can then be “dry”ed out, but trying to do that too early creates more problems than it solves.
