Duplication Isn't Always an Anti-Pattern

I have to agree, it's much easier to remove and consolidate duplicative work than unwind a poor abstraction that is embedded everywhere.

And I think it's easy to see small companies lean on the duplication because it's too easy to screw up abstractions without more engineering heads involved to get it right sometimes.

That is basically the core tenet of "Write Everything Twice" (WET)

I’ve been working on a new framework for the last five years. White paper dropping soon. It’s called “Write Everything Thrice” (WET). Lmk if want the link to my substack where I’m cooking up more stuff like this.
