1. Avoid copy/pasting the same code in many spots. 2. Avoid creating abstractions before there are multiple use cases. Both these seemingly contradictory guidelines are useful. Bottom line: 1. Copy paste first 2. Once it works, consider centralizing duplicated code

My productivity as a senior dev relies on all the steps I skip or do poorly, choosing which corners are cuttable until we know this code is useful. I’d be super slow if my code were subject to the same scrutiny as a first-year dev.
