DRY isn't something you should blanket apply. There are cases where you do want to repeat yourself, e.g. to improve readability (avoiding metaprogramming, which is hard to reason about and will break your IDE) or because two things aren't actually semantically related (trying to force an abstraction means you need to undo it later anyways when the implementations diverge).
