9 years ago @robertcramer I remember Sandi Metz saying you should write duplicate code first and then see if it would make sense to refactor it, i.e. how many times am I duplicating code? If its just twice, its probably not a big deal. Would refactoring duplication make my code more confusing/complex/abstract? If you have code that is easy to understand and its only being used in a few places, maybe its better just to leave it. No hard rule. She also said if you end up duplicating stuff in a lot of places, it might mean you should actually write another class!
Description
