Hey @patriciogv.bsky.social and @jenlowe.bsky.social
You two seem like the primary source to answer this question. Any thoughts?

The principle I'll contribute:
"You Aren't Gonna Need It" (YAGNI)

Out of all coding principles, this has saved me the most time and headache.

All these guidelines are trying to achieve the same goal:

"Optimize for change first"

What to do depends on what will make it easiest to change in the future. AHA is deferring that decision until you know what that change future looks like.

AHA Programming 💡 The dangers of DRY, the web of WET, the awesomeness of AHA.

The reason to function wrap at 3 copies over 2 is that doing so creates an abstraction, and abstractions have a cost. The *wrong* abstraction has a large cost.

A more nuanced guide to decide whether to WET or DRY is Avoid Hasty Abstractions (AHA)

I'll second but extend DRY.

Like in kitchens, DRY is often the right choice. But it's terrible for soups or meats. It's rarer, but there are cases to prefer Write Everything Twice (WET).

The often cited rule is DRY at 3 copies of the code, WET for 2. See en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of...

So cute! I hope they finds eggs!!

I was just looking for something like this, and I'm elated to learn it has 366 issues!

I moderate at r/GraphicsProgramming. I'm going to share this newsletter there every week if no-one else posts it first.
