Also, DRY is not about repeated code. This drives me crazy. Ruby developers love to make code worse by trying to "DRY it up".

  What are you replying to? The article is about how Dry shouldn't be over applied. Dry is literally "Don't Repeat Yourself" and is definitely pushed for cleaning up redundant code, so it's not unreasonable for people to think that's what about. It's only recently that people have pointed out that there's a difference between Duplicated code and Repeated code.

    Redundant code is not code that looks the same. It's only reasonable for people to believe it is about code that looks the same if they have never bothered to learn what it means.

      That's what I said, yes. There's a difference between duplicated logic and redundant code. And it's clear the Grug article agrees with that.
