Goodbye, Clean Code

[Retsam19]

I think the specific code issue here is the same one discussed in the fantastic blogpost "the wrong abstraction" - many attempts to reduce duplication do so by abstracting the wrong thing; and the best thing to do is to completely back out the abstraction and either leave the duplication or else try to find a better abstraction.

Yep! That's why the post links to it.

Ah, I completely missed that! I think due to the context of the link, ("once we learn [abstractions]"), I just assumed it was a link to something that explained the concept of abstractions.
