My only criticism of this piece, is that it's so dry and well articulated, some might not realize it's satire. There is some conversation here about the number of instances something has to happen before you should abstract it, which is a handy rule of thumb. You should also consider the tradeoff of complexity, sometimes even if you have 5, 10, 15 snippets of code that are almost the same you still don't need to abstract it, because the differences are not complex to manage, but an abstraction would be.
