    Yeah in reality it’s even the fourth or fifth copy-paste that actually warrants generalizing, inevitably I find some tweak I need to make to two of the places to render the original generalization a waste of time

    But if you are going to copy and paste make sure you keep it as similar as possible to the other instances to make it easy to refactor if you revisit in future
