what's some programming advice that's considered common sense or that you hear often, but is actually bad advice?

DRY (don't repeat yourself) - this mostly because it's so easy to detect duplicates even for beginners. it leads to terribly misguided advice and creating stupid abstractions that complicate the code.

Agree with this! I like WET and DRY "Write Everything Twice" then when you know what you're doing, or understand the problem space (selectively), dry it out.

Love this. It always takes an iteration or two to arrive at the optimal implementation. Can’t make it DRY before it’s been WET.
