Duplication is better than the wrong abstraction

• Vanderson 8y ago
  Can you clarify this idea some? I have used inheritance in a way to make accessing code more seamless and easier for development. But without inheritance, I end up with a lot of boilerplate code, imports, etc... Doesn't duplication go against the DRY principle? I know you are saying "wrong inheritance", but some people are saying all inheritance is wrong...

  Inheritance is not necessarily the wrong abstraction, too.

  Maybe, but who says inheritance is the wrong abstraction?
