These are the points that I've come to despise from Clean Code. After I read that book I wrote code that tried to follow all those rules. It didn't seem bad at the time, but returning to code written that way has always sucked hard. You have to jump around far too much with the 7 line function rule. And over-DRY code can actually be harder to change since repetition is often incidental. In that case a change in one place will actually affect more than its supposed to.
