Fully agree - if you have the full function or scope of the variable in sight, keeping the variable short make it easy to read and quick to type. Of course if you program in something like k or goal, almost everything is single letter (:

I assume this is not original at all at this point - but (extreme) DRY is not a good practice. My experience is that a bit of copying yourself and your colleagues in the code base often make maintenance of the code base easier.

…

replied to:

I think DRY should just die. It lacks any of the nuance of why copying code is a bad idea. I prefer thinking about a single source of truth and whether two pieces of code are semantically related rather than just happen to look similar. I also think identifying such similarities is hard without first seeing the repetition in a few instances and it is much better to add another copy than introduce the wrong abstraction; unless it’s really obvious then just wait for more repetitions first.

Uncompromising adherence to DRY. First copy-paste? Fine by me. Second? I'll still let it slide. Third? OK, now let's think about finding a suitable refactor.

The fear of being bad at it is the only thing holding you back. I experienced something like that with playing music with others. Perhaps you could learn to lay down your critical brain during the creation process and that good/bad isn't a useful distinction until later when you're editing your work.

Just started, and two made it to be block list. This is going well! :-D

Didn't realize there's a block list! Good to include, even when the point is minimalism.

So, I just got an invite to the new W Social (EU) platform. It requires proper ID authentication - so actual provable humans are on there. Feels good and slightly optimistic. Let's see how it goes.
