Thank you for stopping by! I am a full-stack developer that combines the power of entrepreneurship and programming to make the lives of programmers easier.
Personally, I don't see repeating yourself that much of a problem. Sure, if there are 5-10 lines of code repeated across your code you should create a function and use that, but I also encountered the opposite, introducing problems by creating functions and using them everywhere.
The problem was the function itself. It was fairly short (less than 5 lines of code) and it was almost certain that it will be modified in the future, but not for all calls, only for some. That's where creating a function can bite you.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Great response!
