One place I've found this to be especially true is when writing CSS. I went through a phase years ago of trying to abstract any repeated styles into 'clever' oocss patterns but in the end it's often lead to a confusing mess, in part because of the nature of CSS. In the end I've found duplicated and verbose code to be so much easier to work with and maintain.
