Ancient wisdom meets modern code reviews. The sage speaks truth: your reluctance to follow DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) isn't laziness—it's because you haven't figured out the right abstraction yet. Copy-pasting code three times? That's just being cautious. Prematurely abstracting before you understand the pattern? That's how you end up with a 47-parameter utility function that nobody understands and everyone's afraid to touch. Sometimes repetition is honest work until the universe reveals what actually belongs together. KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) beats a bad abstraction every single time.
