I always said, good developer is a lazy developer. Be selfish, be lazy. Do not hesitate to spend more time to reduce code duplication and better design your code -- it will be huge time saving for you and your team.

Some earlier suggestions on this thread -- work hard. I disagree! Do not work hard -- work smart.

Reduce duplicated code -> use deduplicated code on another thing in same project -> another thing evolve -> need to duplicate code again (and to update it) -> lost time duplicating code after having to reduce code duplication :/
