One quibble: "DRY?" isn't meaningful to anyone not exposed to that non-ubiquitous acronym. If I stick this sheet outside my cube I'll be explaining it over and over, or (worse) the curious and otherwise open-minded will walk off dissuaded by opacity.


I would be a little bit afraid of working in a technical shop where "DRY" wasn't ubiquitous.


Yes but some shops wont know it under that name.

Its common nomenclature in the scripting and web space, but less so in other areas.

It was called design normalization and factorization when I was introduced to it in the early 80s.


Ooh. TIL.


I'll be explaining it over and over

An ironic plight.
